I came across this article in the New York Times this morning.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/s...es-health.html

It discusses what the author finds to be an inordinate level of rejecting free trees by Detroit residents, and what the perceived reasons are, as per a study.

Let me start by saying, I didn't think a rejection rate of 25% was all that bad.......

One could easily have written the headline as 3/4 of all Detroiters say Yes to free trees.

Be that as it may..........

Discussed as reasons for rejection:

- concerns about long-term maintenance
- worries about tree roots in pipes
- and some suggestion that people don't get to choose the type of tree and that might put some off.

Thoughts?
