FOLLOWING the removal of his favourite tree because of safety reasons, seven-year-old Dashiell King from Kiama decided to write to the council to voice his disappointment.

He was all smiles again recently though, as he helped the council plant a new native tree in its place at Bonaira Reserve.

The Kings' Girrawheen Avenue home is located almost directly opposite the reserve's playground equipment, where the original tree stood.

Michael Taylor, tree management officer at Kiama council said last year a resident expressed concerns with the eucalyptus tree, which had dropped a couple of branches during heavy winds.

The council inspected it and did some pruning work.

However, early this year after another wind storm, another branch fell off the tree.

Dover to hold 29th annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony

READING, Pa. -

The ongoing saga of Christmas trees in Reading continued Tuesday with a case of now you see it, now you don't.

A Christmas tree that was meant to replace the "Charlie Brown" tree on Penn Square was put in place Tuesday morning at the base of the Penn Street Bridge.

City crews, however, returned Tuesday afternoon and removed the 22-foot blue spruce. They said it will be relocated to a better spot across the street, in front of the Gateway building, Wednesday morning.

The tree, bought by city council President Francis Acosta, was originally supposed to become the city's official tree at Fifth and Penn streets, replacing the one many have described as being "pathetic" and "ugly."

Officials on Monday, however, had a change of heart and decided to keep the original tree in place on Penn Square and place the new tree at Second and Penn.

The controversy over the original tree drew international media attention, leading to the phones in City Hall "ringing off the hook" with calls from people across the country, officials said Monday.

Half of the callers, they said, supported the tree's removal, while the other half supported the tree being kept on Penn Square, citing the adage, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Christmas tree put in place at Reading's Penn Street gateway

READING -- A Christmas tree that some residents had maligned as ugly will remain in its prominent downtown location after all.

The Reading City Council president had ordered the removal of the spindly spruce, unveiled at a tree lighting ceremony Friday, after some residents said it was ruining their holiday spirit.

City workers had already started removing the tree's decorations Monday when City Council President Francis Acosta ordered the work halted.

It's not clear what prompted him to change his mind, but some residents had thought the tree should stay. The episode has inspired comparisons to the plot of "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

The puny pine was a last-minute stand-in taken from a city park. The city had planned to get its tree from a farm, but the owner wouldn't let the crews drive on the wet ground when they went to pick it up.

The 50-foot tree is topped with a lighted pretzel, a nod to the area's bakeries.

Ugh, Christmas tree

After two years of study, the city of Cupertino has updated city policy for dealing with protected trees.

On Nov. 18 the city council unanimously approved an update to its city tree ordinance that will affect how residents and applicants will need to work with city hall to remove certain protected trees.

Before the update, the ordinance required all removed specimen trees to be replaced with a tree based on the value and size of the removed trees. All specimen trees that are less than 12 inches in diameter are exempted from the process.

The resident or applicant has the option of paying an in-lieu fee only in cases where the physical planting of replacement trees was deemed to be infeasible by a professional arborist, according to the Nov. 18 city staff report.

The ordinance has been updated to allow the applicant and property owner the option of planting the replacement tree or paying an in-lieu fee at 1.5 times the cost of planting the replacement tree.

Tree-removal permits are needed for specimen trees between 13 inches and 24 inches in diameter in most zoning districts. In all zoning districts, where the planting of an on-site replacement tree is physically infeasible, the required in-lieu fee shall be equivalent to the cost of labor materials.

Protected specimen trees include: the California Buckeye, Big Leaf Maple, Deodar Cedar, Blue Atlas Cedar, Western Sycamore, and Bay Laurel.

There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the next city council meeting, likely on Dec. 2. During the second reading, the council and staff will give additional consideration for the listing of the Bay Laurel on the specimen tree list. The council could consider keeping the tree on the list, removing it, replacing it with the London Plane tree, or replacing it with another species entirely, according to the director of community development's report to the planning commission.

The Bay Laurel could be eliminated from the list because it is known to carry Anthracnose Fungus, a disease that can kill nearby oak trees. The city arborist is recommending that the that London Plane be added to the specimen list, because it is similar to Western Sycamore in physical form and water usage properties, according to city staff.

Since 2012, the city and the five-member council have been working routinely on tinkering with how the city and residents interact with public and protected trees. In March 2013, the council amended the city's tree ordinance to clarify references to public street trees and to modify penalties from a misdemeanor to infraction for cutting a public tree.
