Thanks, Mom! Six inches in diameter is still not indicative of a very big tree. Maybe 12 feet tall? Still, an odd way to indicate the size of the new tree.
It should be noted the current owner is a real estate investor. You can bet the property is being prepared for quick, profitable sale. This investor should not have purchased the property to begin with, it was not a good fit. There are now many potential buyers who are severely disappointed. The City is poorer for this decision. There were alternatives to complete removal. The arborist who recommended it is an outlier, to say the least.
There were alternatives to complete removal. The decision should have gone to City Commission hearing. Truth be known, the tree made the house special. The house is a dump without the tree. Expect it to be razed, or flipped quickly. The owner is no steward, or conservationist. As to the arborist who recommended removal, quite suspect.
And they are after me for removing a non native coconut tree that overhung the sidewalk and street parking that an arborist said was diseased. After I’ve planted dozens of native host shrubs and trees all over.
Story was updated an hour ago to reflect new information obtained this morning from a public records request.
A 6-inch live oak?!? What is the point of that? Not a six-foot tree?
6 inches in diameter, not height! 😂

That’s teaching me…
Not to share links to articles with you. 😘
Live oaks are native trees and provide life for hundreds of species here in Florida.
I think his comment was less about the actual tree and more about the menial size they’re planting in place of it.
