Description

The trees in front of the new emergency building on Fifth Street have been "pruned" by someone who has no idea how to prune a tree. I realize in the grand scheme of things that this is a very small complaint; however, I figure the taxpayers paid to have those trees put in, and the designer of the landscape chose a certain kind of tree, so to have some amateur landscaper butcher them down to a few inches of branches is really distressing. And I'll bet we taxpayers paid for that service as well.
Please hire an actual arborist or aesthetic pruner to take care of city trees. Those poor trees will need five years to simply get back to their natural shape, if they ever do.
