Great Chainsaw Massacre

Post by DaveW »

How to get rid of a Carnegia. One of the replies says:-

"They cut it down to widen the and pave the street. They still have done no work on the street. Three saguaros were chopped down."

Yet they can be moved and there is a market for them, so much for conservation.

How appalling. But how symptomatic of the current world.
