Tree down on 11th at B

We had a tree down late this afternoon on 11th Street just east of Avenue B... EVG contributor Stacie Joy happened to be by...
... it caused some damage to the vehicle...
... and the FDNY was quickly on the scene...
... and the roots appear to be rotted...

So sad - it was in full bloom!

I'm waiting for the same thing to happen to the tree angled at 45 degrees in front of Porto rico Coffee - 40 St. Mark's Place.

So sad. A tree was taken down on 7th St between 1st and 2nd Avenue yesterday

WTF? That is not an elderly tree!

Looks like asphalt was placed on the tree base which cut off water and oxygen to the root system. The yearly spring growth hormones allow the tree to get as tall as possible but the roots probably died off and started to rot.

So many trees are gone in this neighborhood. Sad news.
