  2. I've noticed a lot of new trees in the neighborhood recently which always makes me happy. That must be a rewarding job. Looking forward to the new trees they're going to plant soon here on 9th in front of the shuttered Cloister Cafe.

  3. What teh hell?!
    Those look like actual trees. Not just saplings that will be dead three weeks after they go in the ground, as per usual.
    Somethings not right.

  7. Finally, the city is replacing trees on city streets in the EV/LES and not just allowing contractors to cut them down all the time.

  13. Also E Houston between C & LDR has a few (the tiny type, not these monsters). Weirdly they ignored several existing empty tree beds when they did the work.

  14. Looking fast at the thumbnail I thought this was an ad for another weed store. Giant blunt on the back of a flatbed truck. I’m glad it’s trees :)
