Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies.
So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community.
Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today.
Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.

I have a community tree that was planted a couple of years ago. I reported last year that I thought it was dead and someone came out and assessed it and put something around the trunk to protect it. It still looks dead and does not have new buds forming on it. Our neighbors across the street also had one planted and it is thriving and showing new growth. I believe the one on our property is dead. It is a Black Tulelo located at 1628 S. Troy Ct.

Nearly two years ago a drunken driver hit and killed, what was then, a newly planted street tree. Please replace it. Thank you.
