In the past few weeks Asplundh workers have been making their periodic rounds of state roads, lopping off tree limbs that might fall on power lines. The staging area for their army of orange trucks has been behind the old Red Rose Inn in Jennersville. It's not difficult to identify the roadsides where they have been working. In particular, Street Road (Route 926) near the London Grove intersection now has some distinctly asymmetrical trees.
A reader said she could never figure out to pronounce the name, so I looked it up. Apparently many customers are curious about that, because it's the first FAQ on their website:
“AH - splund”. The final “H” is silent. It is a Swedish family name meaning “grove of aspen trees”.
Now you know, Linda D!
