Description
There are many trees on the long block of Everit Street that are very sickly -- covered with brown, shriveled leaves. They are all the same type of tree.
Can someone investigate so the trees don't die?

Sorry, with the significant backlog of trees we acknowledge issues as they are inspected by our arborist which is done based on date of report unless it is clustered near another issue or is flagged to need more prompt review due to description. This issue was flagged for us by DPW for follow up so the Arborist reviewed the thread prior to its making its way to the top of the inspection cue.
"There are a number of fungal diseases in the area that pear trees can contract and most of the time those diseases are usually not life threatening.
Unfortunately, weather conditions in the spring greatly influence the occurrence and severity of the diseases which can flare up making it very hard to manage. Sanitation of leaves are usually picked up by homeowners in the fall, or with city street sweepers doing their best to pick up leaves by the curb. Although these diseases usually only affect the Aesthetics of the tree, we will reinspect the area in the spring so that we can get a better idea of the severity of the disease(s)and to also to remove and prune any affected areas of the tree so to improve its health. In extreme cases, we would not rule out the possibly of removing trees that were severely infected. Thank you"
