Glad You Asked by Diane Montañez
Every time I walk my dog at Fuller Park, I am astounded that “The Wicked Tree” is still standing. This very tall tree is near the sidewalk along Seminary Street, midway between Oak and Laurel streets. During this time of year, the tree sheds a lot of long, sharp leaves. To make matters worse, the tree has “flowers” in the form of large, heavy, round pineapple-like things with sharp spikes. Why do we have such a tree in our park?
