Crimes against nature

Tell me why??? Who did this to this Pittosporum?? The trees on this block are city trees, so WTF happened here?













It's bad enough that the poor thing's root crown is covered with 2 feet of soil. I walk past this horror every day on the way to work. It's just sad.
















I think it's because this is a small alley-type street and neither the cops nor FUF every come patrolling, which explains why people can routinely park their cars in front of the fire hydrant without a ticket.
















Another brilliant idea of my landlord's... put your gorgeous staghorn fern outside and hang it on a south facing wall so it gets unfiltered sun exposure from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm. Great idea!

Later!
