We awoke to the sound of diesel engines this morning as the new oaks were arriving. It was very exciting to see the trees on semi tractor trailers. The city was completely prepared with a crane, trucks, trailers and earth moving equipment and lots of personnel on hand to unload the trees and plant them in their new home. What was most impressive was the attention to detail by city parks and rec folks who took into account every detail when determining tree placement to the point of rotating the trees so that they faced certain directions, and limbs would be growing into the right spaces.
