Knowing how vital trees are for the environment, an elderly man from Redondo Beach, California, was distressed and dismayed when he found that the tree he planted 30 years ago was set to be taken down. Despite his protestations, the municipal council continued with the plan to remove it from the sidewalk. The guy, on the other hand, was determined to exact his vengeance. He promptly started devising a strategy to teach the town mayor a lesson. He had the most brilliant idea ever and accomplished something great…
After some time, he revealed his activity in an open letter to the mayor. The tale, which is thought to be fictitious, has gone viral on the Internet. Look at it this way: Hi, I work as an arborist. This indicates that I am an expert in tree cultivation, management, and research. I adore trees. They are, in my opinion, among of the most beautiful, magnificent, and ancient living organisms on our earth.
I’m here today to tell you a tale of death, new life, and vengeance. The municipal council of Redondo Beach, California, ordered the killing of my 30-year-old pepper tree three years ago today. Its roots had started to infiltrate the pavement in front of my home. The city took notice and imposed a death sentence for my tree. They also forced me to pay for the sidewalk damage and tree removal.
I adored Clyde. I’m getting older, and planting something that I knew would last well beyond my lifespan was really significant to me. I took excellent care of him. I emptied his soil, gave him a crutch to rest on as a little boy, and watched him develop. The mayor decided to uproot my lovely kid just as he was growing into a strong, healthy person, spreading his root system, building a canopy, and forging his own path in life. Clyde, on the other hand, will be avenged…
Steve Aspel, the mayor. You murdered my kid. You will be charged for this. I planted 45 California Redwoods and 82 Giant Sequoias in different parks, yards, and state lands throughout your city two years and seven months ago. Their root systems will be at least 30 feet in diameter and firmly buried in the earth today. You may have seen the trees that have sprung up in front of city council, or the new one that has popped up in your backyard. That’s a Giant Sequoia, and its growth will pick up speed in the following months.
Clyde was murdered, but I have replaced him with over 100 live giants. They will grow into giants. In a few years, they’ll be able to reach heights of 100-300 feet and survive for well over 2,500 years. That’s a long time before Jesus was born. At this point, removing any one of them will cost well over $1500… And I’m sticking you with the bill, just as you did to me three years ago today.” Good morning, sir. May trees take over your city. And may Clyde find peace. This guy understands that vengeance is best served cold.
