Many of the trees that held such promise have died. Residents have asked me how this could happen. Maintenance of the trees is still the responsibiliy of the contractor who will be required to replace them at their cost.
The questions remain: why was insuficient care given to the trees during the maintenance period and why was there such poor monitoring of the contract?
I have sought a response to these questions as well as a solution that will support the trees to maturity.
