planted a Giant Sequoia tree in
my mayor's front yard
an arborist. This means a professional in the
cultivation, management, and study of trees. love trees.
think they're some of the most beautiful, majestic, ancient
living beings on our planet.
Today here to tell you а story of death, new life, and
revenge. Three years ago today, the city council of
Redondo Beach California ordered the death of my 30 year
old pepper tree. It's roots had begun to penetrate the
pavement in front of my house. The city noticed and issued
the death warrant of my tree. They furthermore made me
pay for the damages to the sidewalk and for the tree
removal,
ttoved Clyde. beginning to get older, and planting
something that knew would five well beyond my lifetime
was something very special. took very good care of him.
drained his soil, gave him a crutch to lean on when he was
а young tad, and watched him grow, Just as Clyde was
becoming a strong healthy individual, expanding his root
system, developing a canopy, and making his own way in
life, the mayor took it upon himself to uproot my beautiful
child
Mayor Steve Aspel. You killed my child
For this, you will pay. Two years and seven months ago,
secretly planted 45 California Redwoods and 82 Giant
Sequoias in various parks, yards, and state properties
around your city.
Today, each of their root systems will be at least 30 feet in
diameter, and deeply embedded in the soil. You may have
noticed the trees growing in front of city council, or that
new one that sprouted up in your backyard. a Giant
Sequoia, and its growth will begin accelerating rapidly in
the coming months.
You killed Clyde, but have replaced him with over 100
living giants. And giant they will become. In a few years,
they'll begin breaking heights of 100-300 feet and live well
beyond 2,500 years. That's way longer ago than Jesus was
born, To remove even one of them at this point will cost
well over And stiffing you with the bill, just like
you did to me 3 years ago today
Good day to you, sir. May your city be overrun trees.
And may Clyde rest in peace
