I hope you take the time to read the short article I believe he made his point and it was nice to have one of my post mentioned

I don’t understand the whole blog thing. There are 40 odd ‘likes’ and no comments. Am I allowed to be the one out of forty. I love the pic. But I hate how builders and developers think they can just push trees aside when they like or actually plant a tree in their development and then not give a damn if it lives or dies. “I’m for the tree.”
Landscapers should have to pay some sort of penance for taking large trees down before building, or for not properly planning and having to take it down later. And I don’t mean $, but some sort of community service that would counter it. I’m also “for the tree.”
