Three Street Trees
- New trees were planted on my street last week in the street lawn. Thank you, Shade Tree Commission!
- This one is closest to my house. As you can see, the street lawn is only about 3 feet wide, probably not quite wide enough for an oak tree. I’ve GOT to get down to borough hall to take new pictures of the Japanese zelkovas. They’ve grown so much!
- This one is farthest down the block from my house. Not sure what the stakes are supposed to be doing. It’s kind of like a phantom staking system since there are no ties to the tree. Keeps people and cars sort of away from the fragile trunk though. Or maybe somebody’s going to come along in a week or so and add ties. That’s possible too.

My family calls me "the mamarazzi."
We are blessed in Camden to have a tree foundation. I have three huge oaks in front of my house. They are probably older than the house which dates from 1885, and are on city right-of-way. One of the parks and recreation managers was by the other day to look at some rotten limbs I had noticed and called about. I was delighted when he reported that they would have to be careful not to take off more than was warranted or the tree commission people would be on his case. Also – if they do have to take out a tree, it MUST be replaced.
Hi Pat,
The story of the rotten limbs reminds me of a contrasting story: when we had our siding replaced, the guy was about to cut down my dogwood tree saying, “It’s too close to the house” with a “duh” tone. Ok, it may be too close to the house, but it’s been there 20 years and we rather like it, so please put down that ax! Yikes!
stakes also discourage lawnmowers from hitting the trunk and skinning it.
…and weed whackers. Maybe.
