The city directed residents to pile their trees at certain locations for pickup. Teen and pre-teen boys would use the pile to play King of the Mountain, wrestle, and engage in other grab-ass monkeyshines that boys like.
The goal was to have the highest pile among the neighborhoods. To that end, guys would raid other piles, loot the trees, and drag them back to their own pile. This invariably led to fisticuffs.
The neighborhoods with the most popular girls living within would have the highest piles, simply because the girls would be magnets for outside guys 18, 19, even early 20s. Those young men would accompany the younger guys on their raids, and defend their piles when attempts to loot them occurred.
We had only two attractive girls and both were snooty and thus unpopular. Ergo, our pile was always getting looted. We were just no match for adjacent neighborhoods and had flat tree forts. Bummer.
