This new street tree isn’t doing well. It had buds that never opened this year. There are construction vehicles that pull onto the grass strip daily because of a project across the street- this may have an impact on the tree’s health as well as the city’s ability to come water the tree. It’s not dead yet and I’m hoping you can come save it before it’s too late!

There is a Tree of Heaven planted on Putnam (around 69 and 71 Putnam). This is an invasive species and hopefully can be removed and replaced.
