The Village of Pleasantville is replacing its holiday tree after years of declining health for the local landmark on Manville Road and Edgewood Avenue.
The village arborist says the root system on the Norway spruce
is beyond recovery.
"Our team
from public works is going to go with an arborist and visit those nurseries and
take a look and see who has the best tree and what is best-suited
here," says Mayor Peter Scherer.
A replanting
ceremony will be held for the new tree later this summer or early fall.
