This looks great, but I feel like the trees might become a problem to the adjacent buildings when they mature, unless they’re the type of trees that only grow tall and skinny?
Not every tree essence grows as much as oak. I know some linden trees, older than I am, that where pruned properly one or twice a year and have kept a manageable size. I think hackberry tree don’t get much thick with time and there essences of tree that are chosen to be put in the street because they don’t grow that much in European climate.
Cities don’t want to pay for that. No one is backing logging equipment down a Paris side street.
But yeah, it’s not an issue. I’m sure people planted trees knowing they get bigger. Lemmings just like to point to obvious issues as if no one thought about them.

I have similar trees in front of my apartment building and I love them, they make me feel like I’m living in a tree house in the summer.
I don’t think the trees will grow much more.
It took two years to do the transformation. Do you think it’ll be difficult to do another transformation when the time comes?
Nobody wants to cut down trees once they’ve grown.
Dude, there are whole industries based on cutting down trees once they have grown.
What are you smoking? … can I have some?

You should get a prescription, it will do wonders to your humour.
Can’t you cut trees to make them grow tall and skinny?
I don’t know, I’m not a tree expert. I mean it would be cool if that’s how it works tho
