Anyone know if it would permissible to plant at one of the locations you've listed? Since you're an official CB9 member maybe that makes it okay?

I don't know who in the parks dept picks the species for each site, but you'd think they'd at least follow their own guidelines!<br /><br />On my block, Willow Oak, Hardy Rubber and Littleleaf Linden have all done very well with a little care. Hardy Rubber appears to be invincible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-31209257455233574772012-06-25T11:25:10.930-04:002012-06-25T11:25:10.930-04:00Those trees in front of Popeyes on Parkside have i...Those trees in front of Popeyes on Parkside have it really rough: tons of heat exposure, soil compaction from pedestrians, and nobody seems to water them. They need a responsible person to look after them. Who takes care of the grass and rose bushes next to Popeyes? It would take very little extra effort to keep those trees healthy. I actually watered them during the heat wave, which involved filling up a half dozen 5-gallon buckets and driving them over in my truck. But it's not practical to do that, especially when there's a locked water tap on the side of the Popeyes building.<br /><br />If the city replaces the dead tree (that will be the second that's died in that spot) can someone please find out who has access to water at that building? That's the only way a tree is going to survive in that location.<br /><br />City should also plant something more drought/compaction tolerant than sweetgum next time. Lovely tree, but you need something extremely hardy there.
