Do you remember this tree? Every morning I looked forward to passing it. Sometimes I even said, "I love you!" to it, it was so beautiful. This photo was taken in March, and yesterday I found out it was a coral tree.
Yesterday, I didn't see the tree. I must have missed it. I drove by again in the evening and looked for it. How could I have missed it twice?
This morning, I saw the devastating truth. An ugly big stump with a tarpaulin over it.
They killed my tree. A glorious healthy tree, the most magnificent on the entire length of Sunset Boulevard.
Murderers.
Our landlord cut a big, beautiful and healthy pine tree this spring the best view I had from our living room window! I still can't understand why someone would cut a tree that took so long to grow! Argh!

You all should understand that there are some trees people just dont like, for whatever reason. Obama has had several trees cut down on the whitehouse grounds because he did not care for the type of tree it was. The beautiful coral may have been cut down because someone wanted to put it in their fish tank...

I have found out since then that coral trees have shallow roots and sometimes just topple over. Since the tree overhung Sunset Boulevard and was on public property, the city cut it down because it was "dangerous." Still seems so wrong to me to kill a beautiful healthy tree.
