Re: [GWL]: Top Selling Trees and Shrubs

Barbara,

    The average life of a city street tree, is less than 8 years. Many get
killed prematurely from vandalism, people driving their cars over them,
idiots with weed whips girdling them, too much fertilizer, no fertilizer,
too much water, no water, smog, all sorts of things.
