Abandoned Fruit Trees Must Go
The County Agricultural Commission plans to remove about 106 000 abandoned fruit trees in Los Angeles County excluding Antelope Valley. Commissioner Ryan says action will provide employment, curb disease, reduce rust mite habitats, and improve appearances ahead of the Olympic Games, with tree uprooting eased by wet ground. The plan may be funded by sale of uprooted trees as firewood.
