FDOT: Spending more taxpayer money on dead trees ... by gimleteye
What can you say about a state agency that can't even follow its own rules? I'm sure there are reasons its tree planting around Miami-Dade County puts up one sickly tree after another. Maybe it just thinks no one is looking.

The most important question is who's benefitting from the sale of the trees?
I am pretty sure that the trees are sometimes in that condition when initially installed, as they lose water and light during transport, but, I don't think we can call them dead unless they fail to regrow nice green palm froms. As to who is doing the work, I saw a Villa & Sons sign driving through the area this morning.
I'm consistently horrified that we permit things like this in Miami-Dade. Those pits can't be used for restoration - and I beg FPL to prove they can. No matter the unreformable majority doesn't bother itself with things like facts.
Part of this is the "instant gratification" issue prevalent among modern humans. It is difficult and quite stressful to transplant a tree of this size. And those look to have a mighty tiny rootball attached. Probably just another perversion of nature being attempted by the pink stucco developer crowd.

I've got half a mind to get out there with a watering can. I hate waste.

Q: why does man kill trees?
A: because trees can't run away.
I sure hope those trees don't green up and flourish.
Wait a minute. Yes, I do.
