Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?

    Won’t most of the tree grow back after construction finishes? I’ve seen trees severely cut back and after a couple years it’s almost impossible to tell.

      It’s a silver beach. They are usually planted in front of grand estates and after 100 years, they have a huge crown and massive trunk. There’s no way this is coming back.

      That depends on tree species and damage.
      Willow tree would probably survive that without a problem, most other trees won’t. Some could be saved with appropriate protective measures, like trimming the roots.
