Recently planted skinny saplings in the Neck

Quincy Tree Farm at Merrymount Park mystery solved!
In what is Quincy Quarry’s first joint tag team story by two local Citizen Journalists comes a mystery solved and then reported by the Quarry.
One Citizen Journalist found a bunch of trees dug up and then bundled up with root balls lined up on recently cleared of volunteer trees patch of land on the perimeter of Pageant Field. As it is late in the year for planting trees and the trees were leafless. there was only reasonable concern that these trees were left for dead.
As it turned out, after the Quarry put the word out to its sources both high but mostly low, another local Citizen Jounarlalist took pictures of where the likely whole of order of frees was in the process of ending up planted along primarily Darrow Street in Hough’s Neck and which somewhat recently had both its street surface and sidewalks redone.

Even so, Quincy Quarry has good reason to suspect that the whole of this makeover will not change the often negative to very negative views of Nekkers towards Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch.
At a minimum, seeing at best 2-inch caliper thickness saplings trees planted is likely viewed as a slap in the face when compared to extremely expensive mature and close to fully grown a couple of dozen of 5-figure per tree cost trees that were planted at Kim Jong Koch Plaza in front of City Hall a few years.
Plus, one can only reasonably wonder if the trees planted in the Neck a bit late in the season will weather the winter.
Why are the trees not planted? Are you kidding me under twenty trees? With all the city trucks driving/parked around the city, I would think that all could be planted in a few hours, like before your coffee break.
Shocky,
More like after the afternoon pick me up break at Rags, but point taken.
Because cheap saplings are for you and me but expensive trees for you know who.
Anybody giving odds on these trees surviving for a year?
Imagine he is even diverting oxygen production to his city hall amusement park instead of into local neighborhoods. Especially the poor and all but treeless communities such as Germantown!
It never stops.
There has got to be some massive tree scandal that we are all missing — say, cronyism, nepotism, pay for play, and/or sapling racism.
I like that name. City Hall Amusement Park.
Mary Kate,
In fairness, a whole lot of trees are needed to offset all of the methane coming out of City Hall.
