Description
I have two major oaks in the county easement, both are dying and in danger of dropping large, heavy dangerous limbs onto 11th St. and our driveway. They are on either side of my driveway at 544 11th., St. One oak in particular, the largest, (on the north side) was hit by lightning in 1995 and never recovered. I sent the county an email about these trees 3 years ago and did not get a reply. This particular tree has a limb showing a new decay hole today, revealing its core. I believe this huge limb is a real threat to drop onto 11th St. soon, and it was already severely stressed and twisted in Irma. Last year's funnel cloud took off two other large limbs, one was the center mast, so the tree's heart is wide open at the top. Could you please send an arborist to check ASAP?
