Tree Abuse: 40-50 year old Live Oak tree butchered behind the Chevron Station on Miami Lakes Drive in Miami Lakes, FL

7375 Miami Lakes Drive, Town of Miami Lakes


Current property owner (sold in January 2006 for $1.5 million) Alex Lakes, Inc.
Yes, this old Live Oak tree had some broken branches in its canopy like every other tree in South Florida but someone cheaped out by hiring a butcher instead of an arborist. Rather than cut off just the damaged branches they took the easier and faster way out by illegally hatracking, and permanently damaging, this old Live Oak. Pathetic! This was a magnificent old Live Oak that will never recover its previous beauty due to this mutilation. Hello Miami-Dade County DERM, how much in fines is this worthy of?
