It is possible that a resident on your block agreed to maintain several trees
including the ones by your house. This year I agreed to care for a new tree in
front my neighbor's house as well as one in front of my own home. But I believe
either the CVCBD who received a grant for tree planting or someone from Tree
Baltimore should have contacted you. There is a company contracted to water the
newly planted trees using irrigation bags. Kirsch Jones, a resident of the 2800
block of Guilford Ave & CVCBD board member could probably tell you more about
the recent plantings.
