I hear the city likes when you plant marijuana in the public spaces :D

Hi 4bailey ?
First of all, the city may not plant a tree in front of your house without your written permission. You may plant ?appropriate? foliage in the tree hole?no poison ivy ☺ or shrubs that have thorns, plants that will inhibit the opening of a car door, etc.

Our place in the historic district has a ?tree cut-out? in the sidewalk that was ?cemented over? from a previous owner. This patch job has started to crumble while the adjoining sidewalk is fine. Rather than mix another batch of concrete, I was thinking of ripping up the crumbled stuff and planting something.
I did not want the city to plant a tree there for two reasons: 1.) The "cut out" is almost directly over our building sewer main. 2.) I?ve already invested in and planted ?sun loving? plants in the front yard; it would be a shame to cut the sun exposure to the front with a large tree. I was thinking about putting in a bayberry shrub that wouldn?t grow too high and that didn?t have a root system that could damage the sewer main. Anyone know if there?s any odd restriction in ?the books? on what can be planted in a sidewalk cut-out originally meant for a tree?... TIA!
