Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?

    Won’t most of the tree grow back after construction finishes? I’ve seen trees severely cut back and after a couple years it’s almost impossible to tell.

      It will take literally decades to grow back to its old glory.

      Besides, given how poorly the construction workers treated the tree so far, I guess they won’t act gently in the soil and probably damage roots or compress the ground too much.
