    Arborist Blair Glenn keeps trees trimmed and healthy


    Blair Glenn says he likes to keep a low profile. He neither advertises nor solicits for business for his tree service company. By contrast, however, the fruits of his labors are very evident to those who know where to look--especially in Saratoga. For example, the two huge Italian stone pines in downtown Saratoga's Blaney Plaza could be nicknamed "Blair's Pair," since they wouldn't be a twosome at all if not for his quick thinking. There's also an unnamed rural pocket at the northeastern corner of Pollard and Quito roads that, although unnamed, might as well be called "Blair's Glenn," as it was Glenn who asked the city of Saratoga many years ago if he could "adopt" it. He has maintained the park-like patch of old oaks, sycamores and wildflowers ever since, at no cost to the city.   More
