Sadly, many of these trees are probably the byproduct of someone else’s tragedy, of a sudden hospitalization, illness, depression, a death or dementia. Perhaps they were just too old and overwhelmed to deal with it anymore. Whenever I see these trees this time of year, I think about someone who didn’t have any friends or family to help take care of them, and to help them to get rid of a major fire hazard, I think of all the lonely people who are as abandoned as the trees we see lying in the street.
