El Jardín del Paraíso loses its prized tree

Ugh. The largest tree at El Jardín del Paraíso had to come down earlier this week... The tree in the community garden that spans the block of East Fourth Street to East Fifth Street between C and D was leaning, and some people worried that it could come down during a storm... Here's the scene yesterday via Goggla...

    Sandy was not kind to garden trees... several willows at various gardens are doing poorly and over at Firemen's Garden, they had to cut down a pine tree (that had long been the garden's centerpiece) because it died over the winter...

    Yes, planting more trees is a good idea if the land will support it. Sometimes the root system is pretty dense.
