Pasadena : Carob Trees to Be Removed
City crews will remove 25 old, hazardous carob trees that have pushed up the sidewalks and street along Glen Avenue between Hammond Street and the northern city limits.
The trees will be replaced with 2-foot-tall trees. An additional 27 new trees will also be planted along the street.
Last week, City Directors approved spending $23,000 to remove the carob trees and plant the 52 new trees after the city’s Design Commission recommended reducing the number of carob trees to be removed from 163 to 25.
