Dear Editor,
Re: “Weeping willow’s core is rotten: City,” Letters, May 18; “Tree loss becoming an all too familiar story,” Letters, May 4.
A number of months ago, I wrote a letter regarding the magnificent Willow tree at 8380 Seafair Drive, hoping that my campaign may save this beautiful tree. Apparently not! I have just been informed that the city will be removing this tree, once again caving in to a developer’s wishes.
I am hoping that when the “48 hour removal” notice is put on the tree (very soon) more citizens will make their wishes known. I have done everything I can think of to save this wonderful tree. Perhaps there is something more? It is such a crime to destroy this tree!!
