East Village Weeping Willow

HACKED DOWN 12/10
This old tree was an East Village landmark. Apparently the City thought better than to let it grow and pruned it to a single bare stalk. Thanks Bloomberg!
Thanks to EV Grieve for original report.

Thanks for the correction !

Still not sure I believe that is good for the tree, and it certainly wasn't necessary

How does one NOT see a woman's hair in weeping willows? A great looking tree. I too have wondered about the argument that they MUST be pruned. The way they are in natural forests? Ditto for mowing lawns and raking leaves. But I'm no expert.

I too wonder about what happens in nature, when you hear, must be pruned.

hey great job with your blog! I found you from Leovi blog, come check out my art page as well =)

That is terrible.
Weeping willows are invasive trees, though. They take up all the water from surrounding plants.

But I can understand your feelings. It's tough to see large living things destroyed.

There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article, thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well
