Tucson landscaper Ted Navarro snipped some top branches today from the wind-damaged acacia tree torn by Tuesday's snowstorm. (See story, below) Owners were relieved to learn that the landmark tree should survive, after some prudent trimming, rebalancing and sealing off of the exposed wound.
Ted and his helper lopped, trimmed, tidied and were on their way, leaving Kathleen to put a thick coat of beige latex paint on the sorry gash. The result is a lighter, more compact version of the original specimen, but hopefully a more resilient one.
After the completion of the project, a reporter from the
Saddlebrooke Times, below
, arrived to get the whole story and close yet another exciting chapter at The
Cafe del Solveig.
