Workers get to the root of the matter at downed tree in Tompkins Square Park

Workers this morning removed the remaining portion — stump and root structure — of the large, centuries-old tree that fell on May 7 at the Seventh Street and Avenue A entrance to Tompkins Square Park. (Earlier in the month, someone wrote a message on the stump about Jesus arriving. Probably not what they had in mind.) 

Derek Berg shared these first two photos of this excavation project...
And Felton Davis took these shots...

Will they please put a couple of trees in place of this and not a tiny sapling.

The Brant Foundation put in full-grown trees when they opened their gallery on E 6th St. If the Parks Dept can't do that, maybe the Brants could make a charitable contribution to this neighborhood park?
