Great maple in Ludlow park offers final foliage scene before removal

Pictured above is one of the most memorable foliage scenes in Ludlow’s Veterans Memorial Park. This will be the last time its glorious foliage will be seen in Ludlow. Due to the rotting trunk, the town has decided to remove the tree before it becomes a hazard — but not until it has been allowed to show its magnificent foliage to everyone.  Municipal Manager for Ludlow, Scott Murphy noted, “It’s certainly beautiful this time of year and its unfortunate it has to be taken down. However, we plan to plant a replacement next spring and look forward to new life.”
