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.
Large (beautiful) sycamore on the SE corner of Fess/11th is encased in vines, some of which are poison ivy. This is right by the sidewalk, and appears to be in the City ROW. Is the trimming of the vines the responsibility of the owner? Elevate says IU owns this parcel. It looks like the vines are so heavy that it is stressing the tree. There is also a large maple (?) just east of it that has some vines, but it only looks like a Euonymous.
On the north side of E Cottage Grove, just in front of number 711, there is poison ivy on the two trees in the tree plot.
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.
Last year the City replaced a dead tree in the tree plot with a service berry. However, the service berry is now more than half dead, including the main trunk. Can you replace it with something else? The City did water it all last year so I don't know what happened. Thanks.
Tree planted by city last year in greenway in front of 716 W 7th was vandalized overnight. Hoping the city can replace. The tree had just started to bud.
Tree/bush is blocking the sidewalk, have to duck or walk off sidewalk. Needs trimmed
Street trees need trimmed
Half of tree on right away is dead branches, needs trimmed or removed
A dead tree was just removed from this location this week. Is it possible that another tree be planted here? It is completely empty now and locks pretty bare. Also the stump wasn’t removed after they cut it, are they going to do that?
