Had no idea the big, beautiful trees lining the south half of 35th SW are called European Hornbeams – till today. We learned that when this news release came in today from SDOT, saying that private arborists will be donating their services to trim these trees (which line 35th from Roxbury north to Graham) 9 am-2:30 pm on Friday. (For drivers, that means some rolling closures of the curb lanes as the arborists work their way along the street.)
just exactly what are they going to trim? They look so nice the way they have been growing since I moved here 7 years ago.
I love these trees, especially in fall. Makes 35th feel almost like a boulevard (almost). Glad that they are being taken care of.
Those trees are so beautiful — I love seeing them change color and fullness throughout the year.
Wish they would come trim the trees on the side of my house. I am tired of ducking limbs and having to pick up leaves.
Coffee-
The trees are dangling into traffic. The reason they need to be trimmed is for the same reason we now have to have our tree removed. A large Semi Truck tore off such a large set of branches the DOT arborist deemed it necessary to be removed.
Sad times. I love our tree (except when I have to rake up the leaves)
Sorry, comment time is over.
