Two Pin Oaks To Be Moved
Wednesday, 22 August 2001, 4:03 pm
Press Release: Christchurch City Council
Two 10m-high pin oaks are to be removed from the Peter
Scoular Park, Tuam Street, tomorrow for replanting elsewhere
in Christchurch reserves. The two mature trees will be taken
out in an operation starting at 6.30am tomorrow, Thursday 23
August.
One oak will be replanted in Worcester Boulevard,
near the Captain Scott statue, and the other will be placed
in the Doris Lusk Reserve, next to the Linwood Community
Arts Centre in Stanmore Road.
A large 16-tonne Treespade
machine, especially brought from Auckland by the
Christchurch City Council, will remove the trees within
minutes.
The machine's hydraulic spades dig down and take
up to 3-tonne root balls in one bite. While in the city the
machine will be used to transplant about 40 semi-mature
trees.
The two oaks in the Peter Scoular Park are being
removed to allow more light into the area. It was over-sown
when it was first created.

For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
