Replacing Trees with Shrubs on Pedestrian Plaza
Did you all see that they’re replacing the dead trees with hydrangeas on the Newark Ave pedestrian plaza?
They should’ve already planted them if they were going to replace them. Good thing they have water bags but it’s a tough growing condition and they waited till the last second to plant them.
I am annoyed that they replaced the trees with shrubs.. these are pruned up to have “trunks” but they are shrubs. They should’ve just planted the trees in the ground from the beginning. The half measure with the boxes should be for flowers or something.. but these shrubs are not going to provide much shade.
I guess shrubs are better than dead trees, but now they’re be no trees it seems.
