More News about the Plum Tree

Today our good friend and tree expert David Redmore came and cut up the fallen Plum Tree and removed it from the path. We are waiting for the Council's Tree Gang to remove the remains for us. Some of the branches have been cut up to make a refuge for frogs and toads near the mini-ponds in the Community Garden.
The good news is that David said that in his view the plum tree had fallen across the path, and someone had attempted to clear it using a bow saw, but had found it to be too big a job and abandoned it. That feels a lot better than thinking someone had cut the tree down maliciously!
Sadly a lot of informal pathways have been trodden around the Community Garden by people attempting to bypass the fallen tree, so they will take a while to recover.
