drought, they are more susceptible to disease and insects.
Pruning can increase that risk further, so it is best to limit or
avoid pruning until drought conditions improve.
Mr. Cruce stated that “to keep up with the maintenance of these
trees, year-round pruning is required.” Happily, there are trees
that can tolerate being pruned during the spring and summer
months and they include carrotwood, maple, butternut, walnut,
birch, ironwood and blue beech. Presumably some of these trees
are included among the 13,000 trees located within the public
right-of-way.
In Mr. Cruce’s defense, he explained that the tree in the second
photo below was struck by a truck. The tree in the first photo
below had a major branch failure and this resulted in removing
more than 25% of the tree canopy.
Thank you!
