[Chat] trees in the 2700 block of Calvert

[gary letteron]

Winter is a great time to prune.  there's no leaves, and there's no pests or
pathogens around to move into the pruning cuts.

I agree, their treatment was not good.  The young pin oaks, which did not
need to be trimmed at all, took a particular beating.  However, the bradford
pear in front of our house was desperately in need of having its bottom
branch removed before it fell off and onto someone, so grateful to see that
one trimmed.  I sadly can't imagine that proper training is high on the
budgeted priority list- not an excuse, just a sad reality.

Was anyone else bothered by the butchering of trees on their block in CV.

 

Yesterday, three city employees were hacking at the tree in the well in
front of my house.  These people obviously knew/know nothing about tree
pruning.

 

After finishing with that oneand removing major limbsthey went to the next
and took off every branch except those at the very top.  The tree looks
comical now, like something out of Dr. Seuss with a top knot.

 

They kept on up the block and across the street.

 

Peter, are these people given any instruction on how to prune a tree?  And I
dont think December is the time of year to prune.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Christine Gray
