Four-legged Cedar Falls tree loses dramatic trim
A nearly century-old four-linden tree in Cedar Falls was mostly removed after an October storm damaged it by about 60 percent and left it top heavy. Tim Olsen said safety concerns prompted removing the upper foliage, leaving four grafted logs in the front yard and risking loss of the landmark tree. The late Robert J. Ward reportedly fused the trees together, and Olsen hopes future foliage returns may allow full restoration.
