Q: When is the best time to plant a tree?
A: 20 years ago.
This is so sad, but at least this cutting seems to be for a valid reason. Unlike at three recent cuttings that did not seem to have any center rot at all.
My parents have a tree in front of their house in Brooklyn where the roots are coming up under their house and damaging the foundation. They've tried everything to get permission to take the tree down, to no avail. They have been told they need to sue the city. My point is, NYC is VERY protective of its trees, and they don't take them down unless its absolutely necessary. RIP to the big fella.
shit, the squirrels just lost their equivalent of the Palladium. nowhere to party now.
