Along Prospect Street on both sides from Grove Street to Edwards Street are saplings that are dead or dying from lack of water. Three are in the "tree lawn" on right along the Grove Street cemetery wall and others are on both sides of the street all the way up to Edwards. Some are the dying replacements of saplings that perished a few years ago (this has been going on for three summers now). Some saplings have already been lopped off at the top, which will adversely affect them as they age, and have new dead wood. A unified canopy of young scarlet oaks was planned by Yale a few years ago but these saplings are never watered. Some have been replaced with other types of trees (some of them also in rough shape). Is this a city or university commitment? It's a great waste of effort and money and it doesn't bode well for the future streetscape.
