It’s great the they are planting trees in the City. It’s too bad the City will not take care of them. Look at west 38th Street all the trees and plantings have died. What a waste of money. The City needs some advice from Carmel, their streets are beautiful and well maintained.
Yes, maintenance, both short and long term, is the key to survivability and establishment of the trees and tree canopy. Respect and
understanding of the trees and their benefits is also foremost in the long term benefits. Unfortunately the neighborhood and business commitments for the care and maintenance is short lived and disappears within the first couple of years. Quality and care of the plantings outweighs any quantity counts! Keep up the plantings and take care of them! It’s a long term commitment!
Robert – people drive like maniacs on that section of 38th street. the trees and nice boulevard have been ruined by multiple car accidents. that wouldn’t happen in carmel because the police there will pull you over.
Robert, agreed and I’ve witnessed it first hand on the east side on Emerson Ave. The maintenance is okay and never ending but car wrecks damage landscaping of which was replanted.
Certain species can thrive in areas of high (auto) pollution. It is critical to select the correct type of tree and to ensure that the ground below is fit to sustain growth.
Carmel does not do tree maintenance per se but has planted trees in street rights of way with sufficient space for a tree to thrive. A narrow median without sufficient water does not work well. Regarding 38th Street, other trees or other types of plantings — more pollution, drought, and [snow] chemical resistant — may be the solution.
But perhaps more important is the replacement of tree canopy in parks and in residential areas. Historically lower income areas notably have fewer trees. Many occupants have purposely felled trees as they perceived these to block light, create an unsafe/unclear environment, and affect sewer/utilities lines. And a comment comment was that many did not want to rake leaves. Sadly, the Homewnership 101 chapter noting the quality of trees for value and street appeal was missed or ignored. Hopefully, trees can be planted in city property between curbs and sidewalks as a start, accompanied by planting in private property with homeowner approval (and enthusiasm).
Indianapolis should seek to improve and expand the tree canopy along city parkways and boulevards — Fall Creek, White River, Pleasant Run, Burdsal, Ellenberger — and designate new ‘parkways’ to urban parks that would receive a consistent tree treatment. Links could include for example. Brookside Park to Christian, Washington and Douglass Parks along the currently unappealing Sherman Dr, E. 25th Street, and English Av. Rhodius Park deserves a treed link to [an improved] White River Pky and to Riverside Park via Belmont St. Lastly, so many treeless arterial in indianapolis are absolutely hideous — W. Washington does not present a remotely positive picture of the city for anyone [visiting] who might use the roadway from the airport to downtown. Others on the abysmal list: US31 South, Shadeland, Lafayette Rd, Georgetown Rd, W. 16th St (what do Indy 500 visitors see?), Post Rd. Lyndhurst Dr, Michigan Rd, 82nd, Binford Blvd, Keystone . . . . plus others. The need is great.
Also homeowners need to learn about proper tree care: don’t over mulch to the base of the tree- it’s suffocating the roots and will cause rot, Don’t ever “top” a tree- you’re condemning it to a slow death.
It’s apparent that the city doesn’t believe in maintaining it’s investments, of any kind, unless it’s on the downtown TIF.
