I want to get out on my stoop with a bullhorn. My gigantic, freaking, high maintenance, 50 foot high Norway maple tree with the 5 foot diameter trunk which spans over 7 properties, home to thousands of Fort Greene squirrels suffered NO DAMAGE during the big Nor’Easter last week. Why? Because every year, I pay for this tree to be pruned and treated for disease prevention. Sometimes, I feel so pressured by my neighbors who would like me to trim it into a big telephone pole in my back yard. I have spent so much on this tree, but I guess this is my public service. This gigantic tree sucks up lots of people’s hot air and other assorted CO2. So there, I have said it…
