Trees turned into sling shots

 

Has anybody else noticed that the trees of the Peninsula are being transformed into eyesores?

Just take a look at the nature strip trees of Blackwall Rd and North Burge Rd, for example.

At the hands of arborists contracted out by Energy Australia, an over-zealous lot even according to the EA employee I spoke to, we have formations like the "sling shots" of North Burge Rd.

Seeing that would make you think twice before planting a tree out the front of your house. There is no telling what these heavy-handed "tree surgeons" will turn it into.

Residents should be encouraged to plant trees.

Someone should stop this "uglification" of the Peninsula.
