How To Grow a Rainforest

Our trees are in full bloom and our City is “Green” again after the winter blahs. Has anyone noticed that the trees on our properties and City boulevards are overgrown, unkempt and need a good trimming? If they continue to grow this way, we will never have a rainforest because the trees are growing big and round instead of tall. They need professional grooming. I understand this is an art. The lower branches are cut and the rest of the tree is pruned and manicured to encourage the growth to grow upwards instead of outwards. A good cut and prune will allow the tree to use all it’s energy for upward growth.

Shouldn’t the City start a trend by doing this to the trees on City property? It’s not enough just to plant the trees they have to be maintained. Since we want to keep the economy growing, can’t they hire some trained forestry professionals and helpers for this work? It will sure boost the economy. This field has great possibilities since there are SO MANY TREES that need a manicure and next year there will be even more.

I’ve been told by foreigners that Canada is behind their part of the world in this end of the Forestry/Horticulture field.
