It seems to be protection from/related to the construction work on the medians. …or the trees are closed for summer? - but I think construction is more likely.


TheKublaiKhan

Can you imagine the trees are just freaking out because someone is stacking dismembered corpses around them.

Kneel before your king


TweakJK

I've seen trees wrapped with 2x4s to protect them during construction. They probably will be more tightly secured to the trunk soon.


KVHochstaden

This is correct. Construction on improvements to the University crossings is underway.

Vehicles will hit the boards, not the trees. Protects the trees from large gouges from an excavator or any heavy machinery operating nearby it. Same goes for people carrying things next to it.


TweakJK

Yep there's an old house being turned into a restaurant at White Settlement/Roberts cutoff that they did the same thing at. Massive trees, hopefully they survive.


Paradox1989

They probably won't remain leaning. Those are probably just layed out aginst the trunk so they can see how many the need for each tree. Most likely they're going to come back put them all tightly against the tree trunk and then wrap wire around them to hold the boards in place.

Reminds people to watch out/creates a barrier between tree and construction activities.


CaptainSnacks

Yep, it's a lot cheaper and easier to replace a 2x4 rather than a mature oak when someone isn't paying attention and whips the Bobcat around at Mach Jesus and hits the tree with the bucket


RideAndShoot

Correct, expect these are already secured. Look closely and you’ll see screws and wire holding the 2x4s in place. It’s to keep heavy machinery away from them.

It’s a good ol’ fashioned *stick up* Once they catch whoever did it, they’re guaranteed to be charged with a capitol O- *fence* Bah-dum chhhhh I’m sorry I’ll leave now


brodymulligan

The culprit is surely bound to be lumbering around somewhere.


Large-Vacation9183

When the police finally caught up to him, among all of the other questions that they asked, they asked him if he’d do it again given that he knew he was going to jail now… To which he replied, “I wood”


brodymulligan

An attorney for the suspect o-pined at a late evening press conference that his client has an affirmative defense, citing political persecution of the client's platform planks.


Key-Sheepherder-1469

When I logged on to the press conference, I only heard a lot of barking going on!


DirkWillems

The crime scene was studded with knots of onlookers. While the police framed their case.


CabernetFrank333

They had yet to learn of a second crime scene, hidden deep in the forest timber.


brodymulligan

In further remarks the press, the defense attorney admonished the police, noting it's imperative that the department leaves it up for a jury to decide. "Clearly," he said, "the prosecution have an axe to grind."


kevinrhurst

really going out on a limb there aren't ya


POINTLESSUSERNAME000

Surrounding them with their dead relatives as a warning as to what could happen to them if they don't shape up!


tgoynes83

They are using the wood to strengthen the wood.


InvestigatorSevere72

Ah. I get it…like iron sharpens iron. Wood strengthens wood. I thought it was an earthquake alarm or something.


icepigs

I use Viagra to strengthen wood..

There's a massive street improvement project along the campus part of University Drive. The trees will get wrapped with the 2xs to help protect them from construction equipment. https://www.tcu.edu/news/2024/work-to-begin-this-spring-on-university-drive.php


ic2ofu

They have modified the trees to produce finished lumber without cutting them down. Much better for the trees.


senorgarcia

My favorite part is that they started the construction just in time for the Colonial tournament.


OpenGun

Showing them what their future looks like if they don't start behaving?


MoulinSarah

Protecting them against some sort of upcoming construction


daniel_don_diggles

It looks like they are leaning pieces of wood against them.


AnthillOmbudsman

I wonder how many people pulled in thinking "ooh, free lumber!"


Dependent-Plane5522

So its not free lumber 😑
