What to do about the beautiful, white-blooming pear trees along Main Street downtown?
This issue was discussed at a public meeting Tuesday evening at the United Methodist Church. About 30 people attended, Including city officials and members of the tree commission as well as business property owners and store managers.
Some of the pear trees are in decline due to fire blight. Discussion centered around replacement tree varieties, whether to plant all the same variety or several kinds, and whether to replant all the trees (there are 68 of them) at the same time or replant them over several years.
Various opinions were voiced; no consensus was reached.
