Commentary

Avatar of commenter Thanks for the report - ODF staff visited this site on 5/13 and inspected the tree in the report, and the other adjacent 3 street ash trees.

There were signs of tree canopy decline and dieback, however, all could be attributed to other factors like pre-existing damage from pruning and age. At this time, no EAB exit holes or indicative bark splits were present.

I spoke with the reporters about follow up actions to maintain the health of this beautiful large tree, such as working with an ISA certified arborist.
