The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.
Hello - Following up to my prior report of an infestation to the city tree in front of our property at 724 S. Washington under uReport Case #202945, I received a message that Haskell Smith would come by to look at it, but the ticket was then closed so I've no way to further communicate with Haskell. I understand that Carpenter ants are opportunistic, but they can make things worse. I am still seeing lots of them around the base of the tree and the typical "saw dust" around the area to indicate some sort of boring insect infestation happening. Has anything been done to mitigate? I am hoping something can be done to save the tree before it gets out of control. I would contact an arborist, but since it is a city tree I assume it should be handled by the city.
The trees are overgrown on the side street and need to be cleared if possible. Thank you!
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!
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?
Area where tree was removed is a mess now, either fix it up with grass or another tree needs to be planted. Thankyou
Tree/bush is blocking the sidewalk, have to duck or walk off sidewalk. Needs trimmed
