    Dead branch hanging and at risk of falling onto house or sidewalk.
  • 111 Duff Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown

    We had a Shangri-La gingko planted in front of our house. It's supposed to be a male-only species but it looks like there's one fruit forming.

    If it was mislabeled at the nursery and is female we can hopefully live with it -- don't know just how bad the smell/mess is -- but if it's just a female branch or something, wanted to get it looked at.

  • Howe Park - Watertown
    Hello! Some of the trees in Howe Park (inside the dog park) have dead branches, some of which are very large. Some small branches have fallen in the past few weeks. Can someone please come by to assess? The tree against the fence along Pleasant St., in the middle, has a very large dead branch. If that falls, someone (or even worse, a dog!) could get seriously injured. It's a very dangerous situation, so please have it assessed as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!
