Unwatered, dead and dying young trees

New Haven resident (Isticmaale Diiwaangashan)

Along Prospect Street on both sides from Grove Street to Edwards Street are saplings that are dead or dying from lack of water. Three are in the "tree lawn" on right along the Grove Street cemetery wall and others are on both sides of the street all the way up to Edwards. Some are the dying replacements of saplings that perished a few years ago (this has been going on for three summers now). Some saplings have already been lopped off at the top, which will adversely affect them as they age, and have new dead wood. A unified canopy of young scarlet oaks was planned by Yale a few years ago but these saplings are never watered. Some have been replaced with other types of trees (some of them also in rough shape). Is this a city or university commitment? It's a great waste of effort and money and it doesn't bode well for the future streetscape.

Welcome to Toni Harp's New Haven! Isn't it a shame? Noone takes care of anything around here, except for Yale, and now they only take care of what is right around the Center. The whole Downtown area looks blighted.

There is a serious lack of follow-through on projects that are undertaken, and this is one example. The question is, who accepted responsibility to make sure the trees get established once they were planted?

It would seem to me that whoever planted the trees (Yale? City of New Haven?) should be responsible for seeing that they're established. Would this be perhaps something the Alder could address.

It's not all bad news. The folks who plant, water, and maintain the downtown planters and the State Street median do a terrific job. A shout out to them.

Prospect St is not in the immediate tourist area, and so does not receive the same attention as the Green area. Why don't you form a neighborhood association and take care of them?

I don't live on Prospect Street; I just pass through very often. Most of the buildings on the blocks in question belong to the university. Who is in a position to haul water out to these saplings? They all need the water bags (that surround the trunks).

Leaving issue open--it's still bad. If the university and the city can't work out a watering schedule, these saplings will go on dying. As another commenter just posted, trees are having a bad time in New Haven.

Well, see that's the thing... it's something that is falling between the cracks of 'responsibility'.. 'let George do it' but George left.

"There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done"

We have a lot of young dead and dying people too!

DawnBli, yes, we do, and it is all related. People can't live where other life can't live.

There are no private residences along this stretch of Prospect Street; nowhere to attach a hose, or from where it's realistic to carry out a bucket of water. Yale wanted these trees planted. Their maintenance should not be something that falls through the cracks.

Actually it isnt ALL related...I sincerely doubt that there r many people dying where those trees are...Or in other words, if we water the trees then the young people in the city will stop dying??!!!

Dawn, trees give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, as do other plants, and so balance the humans and animals that breathe oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. The provide good shade in the summer, which is cooling. I could go on an on about ecology.
Every living being is going to die sooner or later from something or other,, but.. all life is related and connected. If the trees can't survive then there is something wrong,, and if there is something wrong then that is going to affect humans too.

They still need water.

yes, we had some rain the other day, but all the trees are dry again, plants and lawns.

For the third year in a row, many of these saplings won't make it through the winter into next season. So much for all the rhetoric about "restoring the canopy" along Prospect Street. It's the university's territory--though probably the city's responsibility. However, given the university's stake, why won't they fund those bags that go around the trunks of the trees? (Probably because it would take a person to drive by and fill the bags.) Trees are slow; and the new colleges are coming along while all this time (and money) is wasted.

New Haven resident (Isticmaale Diiwaangashan)

A few saplings planted to replace those that have died do have water bags--hurray! But--who's maintaining them (filling them) since they've been planted? What about all the other stressed young trees that should be watered along both sides of Prospect? Also, many of the new trees look like sweet gums. Wasn't there supposed to be a unified scarlet oak canopy all the way up the street?

The dead saplings in the "tree lawn" on Prospect Street (along the Grove Street cemetery wall) now have been cut down--but not replaced, which was the commitment made when complaints were registered about the older maples being taken out. Where are their replacements? Will they be watered? Also, does anyone ever weed or collect litter from the tree lawn? It was devised not to require mowing but it does require maintenance.

Referring back to last month's comment about the tree lawn.

That's the city for you. Take down wants established and doing well to replace with poor quality trees that are not cared for.

The tree lawn near the cemetery still looks bare. Many tree sites empty; though replacement trees were promised years ago. Along Prospect Street the saplings have new mulch around them, but *unless they are regularly watered,* it's hard to comprehend why results will be any better for them this year.

New Haven resident (Isticmaale Diiwaangashan)

It's great that some of the missing trees have been re-planted. However, without regular watering (and none of them have the irrigation bags), they are ALL GOING TO DIE just as the previous saplings did.

Observing a lot of saplings that don't seem ever to be watered. The long-term prospect for them on Prospect Street? --not good.

It's been a long summer and the saplings are not getting enough water. Leaf curling plain on many.
