Description
this very large silver oak tree that has vines growing up the entire 2 trunks.
the base of it is also pulled up from the ground, appearing that it may eventually fall. the damage from the vines seems irreversible at this point. i just had an enormous maple tree ( seeming healthy except for the vines) fall on and in my house in this past storm- SAME ISSUE AS THIS TREE.
i would appreciate it if this tree can be either taken down at this point or made less top heavy. the front trunk on veranda is across the street from my neighbors small house. the back trunk is leaning over my property and will cause an enormous amount of damage as well if it falls. as i said the same issue next door just happened to my house. the tree surgeon said it was rotted at the V spot due to water getting in for years. PLEASE can someone contact me to discuss this. Thank you!

I am very disappointed that it has not been taken care of.
My house sustained much damage that took 1 year to repair from a similar tree that fell last august.
This tree has had many branches that come down due to high winds and snow during each storm.
It is being choked by ivy and has two trunks.
I would love to have someone come out to my house to take a look at it with me.
Thank you.

Hi jenz,
It's possible nobody will contact you. I recommend utilizing the contact information provided by our town's Deputy Chief of Staff several hours ago... "Please call Hamden PW at 203-287-2600 with questions."
I hope this information helps.

Hi chris!
I am not one to post publicly. This is a first.
Thank you so much for your help and expertise!!
I also appreciate your responsiveness and professionalism. Not to mention the tree crew who cleaned up so well and were really friendly.
I look forward to their return!
I will surely feel more at ease when the next storm hits.
With gratitude,
