Hedwig Village residents desperate to save age old Oak Tree, developer plans to tear it down

Residents like Harry Craig, who has lived on Constance Drive in Hedwig Village since 1983, says for 39 years he’s driven past the giant live oak tree, and he’s seen the memories that have been made underneath.

Residents say taking this oak tree away is literally like removing a piece of Hedwig village, a community known for its vibrant and beautiful oak trees. Neighbors say they were told the tree would be torn down on Friday, but we contacted the developer who said a date on when the tree will come down hasn’t been set. He refused to comment any further.

"This is a beautiful tree you can’t replace this, we won’t see another one grow this big in our lifetime," Delgado said. He also says he’s glad he’s not the contractor responsible for tearing down this historic oak tree.
