The Edison Company, despite community complaints, continues to murder Redlands' palm trees. Any palm frond within a few yards of one of their lines warrants, it seems, amputation of it and all neighboring fronds, leading to the death of trees that are fifty to seventy five years old.
Redlands is now scattered with dead and dying trees, thanks to the butchers Edison employs to "trim" the offending palms. Odd, but I don't recall Edison doing this in the distant past, or we'd have many more vacancies along our palm lined streets. On some avenues, the trees have safely managed to grow up past the power lines, and every one of the trees is still intact.
Somebody at Edison, once upon a time, must have actually given a shit. But not now, not these days.
