The future of nine fig trees along The Boulevarde, Toronto will be decided tonight as Lake Macquarie Council votes on whether to chop down the figs as part of a plan to upgrade The Boulevarde.
The idea is part of a council plan to upgrade Toronto's
main street, with concerns the figs may cause damage to building
foundations and infrastructure.
Council staff have recommended a staged replacement of the trees, but there are still community concerns the economic benefits of the trees have been overlooked.
