WALKING THE TALK

THERE  ARE so many people riding the environmental bandwagon I wonder how much room is left for the newcomers.
The copy/paste segment in feisbuk continues growing with too many life-coaching spiritual advice, reminder of cult freaks who have never planted a seed....of beans/corn to learn the difference between monos/dicots....to name one example.

Tree lovers, enjoy copying and pasting cute photos of  trees they have never seen, will never see or do not grow in their countries of origin.

I on the other hand practice every single aspect of environmental, habitat, flora and fauna fundamentals for sustainability...that security blanket everyone embraces nowadays.

Contrary to the herd, always digging a little hole here or there to plant this or that, most of the time in a crooked fashion, without tutors, as I will show in the future....I decided to start restoring, fixing trees that have been mutilated for decades by los tarugos in the municipality, functional illiterates with like wise supervisors.

Today star: Murraya paniculata, in calle del Parque in Santurce. One of 36, I intend to prune as logic, tree arboriculture demand and most jerks/jerkettes are not aware off, nor they care.

What is pertinent is to plant...and to leave them stray as the hundred of thousands abandoned pets in Puerto Rico.

Each tree, or 8 out of 10 planted in the metro zone of San Juan, between the University of Rio Piedras and the Nechodoma Episcopal church in Miramar are the wrong species for sidewalks/urban context where pedestrians gather.

Murraya paniculata with their intense lemon/orange flowers fragance twice a year, on both sides of this street have no competition in terms of easy maintenance and elegance, except by Guaiacum officinale....as handsome, but much taller and wider.
