Green Space Trees to be Replaced
- Details
- Created: 18 September 2016
The Cramer Oval green space apparently doesn't like Serbian Spruces. Several of the conifers went from a healthy green to dead brown during our hot and dry August.Since the 2014 completion of the green space improvement project, the City of Dublin has replaced dying spruce trees twice. Now city horticulturist Scott Moncrief reports that 8 of the spruces will be removed and replaced with either Bald Cypress or Dawn Redwood trees, both deciduous conifers. These trees drop their needles in the fall and replace them in the spring. He hopes these varieties will "tolerate the area a little better and add some diversity to the tree line."
Removal of the spruce trees will happen very soon, with replacement planting hopefully to be completed this fall.
