New trees are improving Grand Avenue
New trees are being planted along Grand Avenue this week. As I was taking this picture, a Grove resident stopped me to tell me he doesn't like the trees. He says since this is Coconut Grove, they should be coconut palms and he also says that all the trees that are planted under power lines eventually die and need to be replaced. Not sure if that is true or not, but I think any new trees are a great enhancement.My friend who was with me joked that this one tree here was put up to block Condom USA from the elementary school's view across the street. Maybe it was. :)

It sure is hard to please everyone; they bitch cause we don't have trees, you plant trees and they don't like what you plant, then they don't like where you plant them....
The problem with coconut trees is that they drop coconuts, which damage cars. If a tree damages a car, the city has to pay. Besides, an oak is a native and provides shade, something that is especially needed with the heat producing red brick. Sorry, I know that they look good, but red bricks actually increase the temperature in the surrounding area when hit by the sun. So, if you are going to lay brick, you need shade.
