Hello Newman!

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.

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.

Good to see something happening that everyone here can agree is a good thing!

Now, about those ugly plastic sticks everywhere....

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.

My mistake--it is between 504 and 506 East Fifth street--10009. This is just because I am grading papers--MLA style--??????

There are 3 new trees right around were this truck was on A between 2nd and 3rd. I know water helps trees, what else? Worms? well wishes?

New trees arrived on our block on Eldridge St about a week ago, good to see.

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.

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 :)

Encourage local businesses to water street trees! Ice counts!
