These Fitzgerald Avenue trees between Cashel and Lichfield Streets are not undergoing a radical form of surgery. Their stumps will soon be taken out to make way for fresh tree-planting. Mr Dave Scott, of Temuka, strolls down the corridor of trees; most were not considered healthy enough to save. The Christchurch City Council will take all of them out, remove all the poor soil, fertilise the block, and dig planting pits for all new trees. Some of the Fitzgerald Avenue trees which are to be felled will be replaced by the Cantrbury Horticultural Society. The society has agreed to pay the costs of planting new trees in one section of the avenue, between two cross streets.
