6. i want pecans,

i had a couple of pawnee pecans that went in late and i lost them.
i'm trying to convince the city to let me plant them on the parkway. they at least need to add them to the list of acceptable trees. turkish hazelnuts is on the list, but only in the parks.
i wouldnt be the 1st person to just plant something and dare them to notice. i own 4 parcels, about 120' of sidewalk. there's supposed be a tree every 25'. i have zero. for several years, through a citizen driven process, there has been money to 'repair the canopy, esp on the arterial streets'.i live on an arterial street. the rest of this street is just as bad. we've had 3 major wind storms this century so far. before that? everyone knew tornadoes didnt hit big cities. all 3 hit this hood, right off the lake. i lost small trees in the 1st and 3rd, one that was already dead and didnt know it. they yammer about having to 'take care of them' but they dont do a lot of that. they mostly just cut them dow when they die.

i'd also like to convince them to stop grinding stumps and just inoculate them w shrooms. i dont want to go all mad max, but whatever happens there'll be food here til we completely screw the environment. that should be a goal for the city, too.
