Have to correct myself.... The particular row I was talking about was from 2nd to 6th, not 13th. 11 blocks of crab apples would constitute an orchard
Pretty sure it's city land, bordering railway property. Another that looks to be quite effected is the large park/playground area in behind Parkdale and Durum. More of what I think is the same type of tree.... apple in general seem to be more effected.
I know the city does pay attention to these sorts of things. I'll see if I can find out a little more as far as what they are/can/can't do.
