Two things to note in regard to the original questions about nailing
or otherwise affixing signs to trees. First thing is that the
amendment to 10-1200 in John's link allows certain postings on
streetlights and utility poles not previously allowed (though not in
certain councilmanic districts that evidently opted out), but does not
change the existing prohibition on posting on trees. The second thing
is that the Code current on September 20, 2007 shows that the
amendment was not enacted as of that date (code main page is http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Pennsylvania/philadelphia_pa/thephiladelphiacode?f=templates$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:philadelphia_pa)

We need to find the wording of the amendment--I recall it as being
more
precise than the news piece would make it out to be.

I think there was some confusion due to the stupid amendment of
10-1200 of
the charter last year.
