This has been on my nerves for awhile. The city (or someone the city hired) cut down a bunch of dead and dying ornamental trees on our boulevard. They replaced them with various other ornamental trees. This is one of two that got planted this way. I called the city and it appeared they got righted. However, it didn't last long. I righted one myself, drove a metal fence post next to it and tied it to the STRAIGHT fence post. Currently, it is about straight; don't want to force it. While doing this, a neighbor came out, thought this shouldn't be my responsibility and was going to call the city again (I don't know if this got accomplished or not..I'd say not). So this poor tree is growing at an angle conducive of using it for a barge tie off on the Hennepin Canal. It is slowly driving me nuts. I'm half tempted to borrow the chainsaw master's Stihl Farm Boss chainsaw and remove it and plant something completely perpendicular to the ground like a nice Bradford Pear.
