Are the dead trees in central Christchurch an embarrassment to the Garden City?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

New plants in a central Christchurch park are dying and have to be replaced.

The $30 million taxpayer-funded Rauora Park opened in the city's east frame in December with 14,000 plants, including 312 trees. A large number are now dead or dying.

Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro says some deaths were inevitable, but plant experts say the work was poorly planned and done with no respect for the plants.
