We watched as a swarm of bees relocated themselves to a large Maple tree at the corner of 11th and Washington. We are not concerned having the bees around, and love the tree, but have some concern for the health of the tree. The bees entered the tree through several openings, so it is obviously hollow to some extent. I am asking if you have someone to assess the tree since it is on city property. Thank you.
Tree 35138 is rotting pretty badly on the sidewalk side
There is an Ash tree on city property right next to the street light on Mulberry Drive that appears to be dying. The tree was struck by lightening last year and has been treated for Bore Ash disease. I would like someone to take a look at it to see if it's viable.
Dead and hit over street trees on vernal pike near retention walls by Arlington roundabout
Dead street tree right across from trades garage and b line heights
There are a number of trees on the south side lane of Gentry Blvd. just off Highway 446 that are low hanging and scrape the top of cars. They are particularly low at the intersection of Gentry Boulevard and Gentry Court. Please send crews to trim them to remove the hazard.
In Bryan Park and Elm Heights, most (all?) tulip poplar trees are dripping honeydew. I am an entomologist and know that this is fairly normal but I’ve never seen it on such a large portion of trees.
The city trees between the sidewalk and street lower branches are in the way of walkers and some are dead and brittle posing a safety issue for pedestrians.
As I reported last year (ticket #181156) there is poison ivy on one of the street trees in the tree plot. These trees are in the Treekeeper database and so I must assume that they are under the city's care. The photo here shows a robust, hairy vine and the berries have come in. It needs to be removed before the birds poop the seeds around.
Tree 48472 has poison ivy and creepers growing up it
