Banyans green up after storms

On Banyan Street the leaves have returned, and trees closest to Park Avenue seem to be in full recovery. After Hurricane Milton, Lee County cleaned around the trees, and also hand-watered them through its emergency water trucks. Across the island, many street and parkland trees are still a mess, where there are huge washouts. Misty Nichols of the GICIA said that they are waiting to see how planting comes back before they make any landscaping decisions. “We won’t know for a little while on planting,” said Nichols.
