The trees were a variety of species and were meant to replace a large swath of ash trees that were professionally removed earlier this year, Zumach said. The saplings stood about five to seven feet tall and weighed up to 30 pounds.
That's a lot of work just to kill or steal some trees.
Poor trees :(
This is just sad and a dick move
Terribly unfunny, and a total waste of time, money, and effort for nothing. Plus it would've required a whole squad to uproot 60 trees in one night.
The only way I'm excusing this is if the city planted those semen trees
