The North Myrtle Beach Tree City Board has identified a unique Live Oak tree located at 3600 Seaview Street in the Windy Hill section of the city as its Tree of the Month for October.
The Live Oak is a wonderful, mature specimen in its own right but what is perhaps most admirable is the care that was taken to preserve it while the five townhouses around it were constructed. It is the perfect focal point for the development and it provides shade and a conversation point for residents and passersby.
The Live Oak at 3600 Seaview Street is proof positive of what is possible when people make preservation a priority. Mature trees enhance property and its value. Any established trees that can be saved during construction provide a head start since transplanted trees typically take longer to establish and reach appreciable size and shape.
Property owners and developers who are interested in finding out more about how they can preserve trees on their property are invited to contact the North Myrtle Beach Tree City Board at nmbtreeboard@nmb.us.
The Tree of the Month program began in 2010 as a way to recognize trees within the city that have been preserved over the years. It also provides a platform to remind people of the benefits and importance that trees offer in our everyday lives.
If you think you have the biggest, prettiest, or most unusual tree in North Myrtle Beach, or that your tree has a unique story attached to it, the Tree City Board encourages you to contact Parks & Grounds Superintendent Jim Grainger at(843) 280-5571 or via email at nmbtreeboard@nmb.us.
