It seems a shame that Putney is losing so many trees on at least one residential street. There are signs on lots of established trees on the east side of Clarendon Drive to notify of their immanent removal. Whilst appearing to be thriving I imagine they have succumbed to a disease and need to be removed before they eventually fall down. I see they are going to replace them with new trees but I seem to remember that Putney has very mixed (at best) success with developing saplings into established trees. I wonder if other streets are impacted too. |
