A few years ago, Sakura’s spectacular weeping cherry tree was in the state Department of Transportation’s cross-hairs.
They said it had to be removed, for a Post Road project.
Andrew Colabella and a small group of residents swung into action. Together, local and state officials — and Eversource — saved it.
Today, it is as magnificent as ever.
And traffic flows by, perfectly fine.
