OK, I’m not exactly sure how it works, and it’s probably not exactly socialism, but this morning some folks who looked just like this came and planted a tree in our front yard, along with a couple dozen others up and down our block. It was a wonderful bright spot of community greening on an otherwise dreary day. (Note too, in the above pictures, how bare the trees have gotten already since the last pictures I took.)
The tree they planted is a Canada Red Select Cherry; this is what it will eventually look like.
