Why does deadwood in our island trees need our attention?  

Dead branches and limbs appear in all trees over time for many reasons: age, or stress from drought, lack of nutrients, insufficient light, pests, disease.  Sometimes they are a problem for a tree’s health; always they are unattractive and make a handsome island grove look unkempt.  The City removes hazardous limbs; it does not fund ‘aesthetic’ pruning.  

 

Your contributions enable us to periodically clear our island trees of accumulated, ugly deadwood.  Thank you!
