One of Toronto’s oldest trees, estimated to be about 350 years old, could cost Torontonians nearly $1 million to save it. The city has agreed to pay half the cost of saving the tree by purchasing the adjacent house, but the public would have less than a year to come up with another $430,000 to save the red oak.
