Speaking of trees to be removed, we had a large branch fall from a sycamore tree at Hugo Reid Park, near the baseball field. In looking at the situation, our arborists discovered that there is substantial amount of rot in the trunk, meaning it is a hazard that needs to be removed. We will be scheduling removal of the tree on Monday. The tree may look dead in the photo, but that’s because sycamores are still dormant this time of year. Regardless, it’s safest to remove the tree before it falls on someone in the park.
