Blow Me Down

  • Post author:

Barb Burrill, local tree steward, sent in this shot of the aftermath of the weekend windstorm on Meridian Park:

Two Winter Banana variety apple trees at Meridian Playground were blown over during the windstorm Saturday. The trees were in good health but had a shallow root system. They were part of the original Good Shepherd Center orchard, dating from the early 1900s.

Winter Banana is a common apple variety at the Meridian Playground orchard – there are seven remaining original trees of that variety.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    I would be interested to know if any big giant footsteps were found in the area.
