And, no, it is not illegal to plant roses! :)

It’s kind of a dick move if you think about it.

In my experience though, I think you have to accept the fact that people will leave sh1t in your tree. Just clean it up daily and think of it as giving the tree loving care. Then you will feel better and the litter won’t always be there bothering you.

PS I know the tree, at least I know of one tree on Lexington with milk jugs, paper bags and all sorts of junk hanging from it. At first I thought it may have been done on purpose, for the birds or something. Now after reading your post it all comes clear.

Any way of nicely asking them … PLEASE CURB YOUR DOG?

Maybe a “no littering” sign would work if it appeared to have been created by a child.

You’re probably not ready for that level of commitment. Thanks for your general interest however!
