Daily News | Elegy for a holly tree
My parents bought a house in West Oak Lane in 1966. I wound up buying it from their estate in 2005, after living in Center City for over 20 years. And in all that time, there has been a holly tree on the corner.A few weeks ago, that holly tree was cut down, along with an overgrown mulberry tree.The holly tree was priceless to me, like an old friend.
Over time, a blight killed most of the trees. The intersection near me, at North 20th Street and 72nd Avenue, still has a few London Plane trees, a reminder of what our street used to look like. Look at them soon because they too have the blight, and are dying. The most recent owner of the corner house sold it a while back. The current owners are an LLC. Every few months there is a new tenant.
I tried to reach the owners of the corner house, but I couldn’t find contact information. Neither could our councilmember’s office.We had a mature, beautiful holly tree and mulberry tree. The mulberry could have been pruned if it was overgrown. Instead of caring for the trees, they were cut down.
