READER PHOTO: Poor, tortured trees…

Today ’s pic is fromSusan Morrisonin California ’s San Francisco Bay area . She says:“This sign is in the older part of my neighborhood and unfortunately a lot of the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree are still treated this way , but this particular house is the WORST ! ! It ’s like an homage to speculative seventies landscaping , with the pollarded tree diagram , lone juniper bush , and the horrible Italian cypress tree hedge . Even a urine - sucking lawn would be a welcome improver . I drove by a span of days ago , and three week subsequently , they still have n’t scavenge up the offshoot . Of course the flipside of older neighborhoods is that they are often plant with the classical California compounding ofrosemaryandCalifornia poppies . When this wonderfully humbled - maintenance combination starts to blossom , it ’s a sure sign that outflow is here . ”Thanks for broadcast in these dandy exposure , Susan !
