Apple trees

[CllrGeoffAbell]

Just to report that MESS who planted the orchard trees have been in touch with the police and the tree dept in the council.  They may also have found some finance to replaced the damaged trees if needed.  (A few have also died naturally).  They are naturally very upset at this turn of events - there were quite a few hurdles to putting them in in the first place.

the chances are it was a man.

More likely to have been a boy, showing off to impress his mates.  Very sad.

No it doesn't.  I was referring to the trees in London.

For many years I lived in London.  And it had this stupid cycle.

Every year the council would plant some new trees in the pavement near a parade of shops and the tube station.  Nice trees.  Gave a nice feeling to the area.

Every years, some weeks later, several of them would have been snapped in the middle.

The tree would die.  The next year the council would dig it up and replant. 

Repeat.

It was clearly some moron - probably the same one - who decided to prove his masculinity by kicking the crap out of a tree.  Because that shows what a man you are.  I'm not one for gender stereotyping normally, but let's face it, the chances are it was a man.

I didn't understand it then.  I don't understand it now.  But clearly some people just think destroying trees is a laugh.

(A regular question was why the council didn't invest in some of those metal tree guard things that go round the tree to protect it.  "Too expensive" it was declared.  It was cheaper to just replant every year, and wait for the moron to strike again.)
