@ STOMPer Weak Heart: "bare tree stumps left by the road at Teban Gardens Crescent"

For the sake of accuracy, these stumps were hardly located "by the road". Instead, they were found within the abandoned Jurong Line railway corridor, which used to be a DIY kampung-style farmland.

The stumps were those of wild-sown or resident-cultivated trees. They were reduced to this state, after SLA put up 'No Trespassing' signs & legal notices, & in 2007, proceeded to dump tons of clay earth onto this former verdant farmland. The bigger trees were partially torn down, before gradually suffocating to death by the deep burial of their roots – notice how no root flares are visible in the photos. The smaller trees at the site were totally torn down by bulldozers.

Today, this railway stretch is filled with wild grassy/scrub vegetation which SLA mows down regularly. Most of the dead stumps have already decomposed into nothing.

from the look of the tree, the death might be due to overpruning done by the owner.since the tree had died ,time to remove and replant

How do TC maintain trees that they die.
TC should chop the dead ones and plant new ones in their place.

Who ask you to walk there huh? if you walk below HDB the water of one auntie undergarment drip onto you, you gonna blame her isit? if you slip and fall, you gonna to blame the LTA/Town Council isit? in the event of a thunderstorm, not only the bare tree slumps will fall, a lot of things also will fall. Hide yourself in your cupboard then so that everything will be safe. But wait a minute, your hanger may fall.

during a thunderstorm, got people come out and play/walk around the area meh?

this area is used for shortcut to factories at Teban Gardens Crescent...don't walk shortcut and you will not be complaining

Congratulation on your 1st STOMP, WEAK HEART!

Dead tree not always = bug infested brittle crumbling tree. so kiasi, I doubt the stump is even more than your weight
