Centennial oak on the embankment of Griboyedov cut down because of rot and beetles
On the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal on October 19, a hundred-year-old poplar was cut down - the last of the alleys, which was built there in 1914. Examination showed that the trunk was affected by rot and the wood was damaged by beetles. This is reported by argumenti.ru.

The tree could have fallen and posed a threat to a nearby facility planned for restoration. The decision to cut was forced: a healthy tree was not going to touch, but rot and beetles made it emergency.
At the same time, St. Petersburg compensates for the loss: this year, another 200 trees are planned to be planted in the central part of the city.
