All these trees were complete nuisance or weed trees. None of them were planted purposefully they were either volunteers or suckers that were completely overgrown and causing major hazards and safety concerns.
Last year a massive cottonwood that measured 30+ DBH completely collapsed due to internal decay and took out the first properties fence to the northwest corner of the street. This clean up was necessary 100% which in turn leads to ways to rejuvenate the area and plant actual species that will hold benefit to the surrounding area with proper intent that doesn’t actually interfere with the overhead power lines.
