This block of St. Mark's Place lost 2 trees this week


[Photo Wednesday by Steven]

On Wednesday, crews cut down the Callery pear tree from outside 26 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. The day before, a large branch fell from the tree, narrowly missing several nearby pedestrians and vehicles.

This wasn't the only tree lost on this block this week ... on Sunday morning, we saw that this young tree had been uprooted from outside 3-5 St. Mark's Place...





Not sure what happened... in any event, someone removed this tree on Wednesday...

    How old was the tree that fell down and had to be removed?

    If there's a young tree near your building consider watering it when it hasn't rained for a while. There's a Green Vase downstairs, and when it hasn't rained for a week or so, particularly in warm weather, I will water it. I also planted some fertilizer sticks around it. I'm far from a tree expert but it's doing very well. Trees need some love and care too.
