Had an arborist out on another street tree (Japanese Cherry) that needs pruned badly and some dead removed, but is otherwise healthy. While there he looked at a Red Sunset Maple that I thought had a lot of dead in it, just in the last year. His appraisal was that it needed removed and since a street tree he suggested I give the city a call.
The lower branches of the city oak tree in front of the property need to be trimmed. They extend into the street and obstruct vehicles.

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.
There is a rather large broken tree limb hanging over the street that will likely fall during one of those windy gusty days this Fall or Winter. The limb is too high in the tree for me to pull down. Can the City remove that broken limb? The tree is in the city right-of-way. Thank you.
Hello! There are a number of very dead ash trees that have become a hazard on E. Covenanter close to the intersection with High Street. I am hoping that some of these can be prioritized. One in particular reaches over the street. They are very close to the intersection and the stop sign on High. It is only a matter of time before a large limb drops, and I would hate for that to happen when a pedestrian or car was present. Thank you! Jenny
Sorry to report that the top of the Kentucky Coffee Tree in the ROW was snapped off in the storm. Still hanging up there. Can someone come by with a crane and free the top part so that it will drop? We can take care of it once it's on the ground. Please don't take the whole tree out.
