City Hall trees get some needed TLC
ELLSWORTH Happy trees, happy bees. Happy residents, too.
Come mid-May, pollinators dart among the pink blossoms of the crab apple trees surrounding the City Hall parking lot. Passers-by glance up and admire the show. But several decades after Ellsworth American reporter Jack Wiggins spearheaded their planting, the trees are showing their age. To that end, Ellsworth resident and former legislator Ruth Foster teamed up with the Ellsworth Garden Club to raise money for a revitalization project. It got underway Tuesday when a crew from Atlantic Landscape Construction began pruning the 24 trees. Seven that are dead or too far gone to be salvaged will be replaced.
