Large branch has broken off maple tree at NW corner of 7th and Maple and is hanging precariously. High winds this afternoon and evening could cause it to injure someone. Hard to see in my photo but it is definitely broken off.
There is a hollow maple tree on city property at the corner of East 11th Street and Walnut Street. There is currently an active bee hive in it. Given how close the tree is to houses in the area, the fact that the tree is hollow is cause for concern. If the tree and the bee hive could be assessed, that would be appreciated. Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On the north side of Cottage Grove, east of Indiana Ave, there is poison ivy on one of the trees in the tree plot. It is on one the trees a little further east than the parking information sign.
Coming home from Ivy Tech Community College, where I work as a part-time custodian, on TAPP Road, just past the roundabout, there was a Log approximately 6 inches in cross-section diameter with a spike-like branch approximately 5 inches in length and a couple of smaller pieces of wood. I swerved to avoid contact but the wood hit the bottom and rear of my car hard. I had to hit my passenger front bumper and driver rear bumper back in place. I did this after I pull into the Marathon gas station on the corner of Winslow and Walnut. The time was approximately 2:30 am.
