I don't like the fact that some landscaper sometime in days gone past decided it would be an awesome idea to plant plumb trees up and down all the sidewalks in this neighborhood.
Plumb trees are meh. They are not an ugly tree, but they are not a stunningly beautiful tree either. They offer little in the way of beautifying a sidewalk.
Plumb trees spew out fruit at an alarming rate right in the middle of dog-walking season.
Plumbs are full of reddish purple juice that clings to sidewalks, shoes, and dog fur.
Plumbs happily bake themselves to the sidewalk and can't be swept or hosed off for months at a time.
Plumbs give my dogs terrible gas.
Plumbs attract fruit flies.
Plumbs litter the streets, all the streets, up and down, no escaping them unless you walk in the road or the bike lane.
I really don't like the fact that someone planted plumb trees here! When I grow up, I don't want to live within 8 square blocks of a plumb tree!
