Hi Everyone,
I am looking for an
arborist or other person with tree knowledge who can
consult with my mom who lives in Van Nuys. Her
mow-and-blow gardener has suggested that an older
pine tree might need to come out. He
may be right, however, she would like a consult with
someone more experienced with trees before she
decides to do that. We are hoping there is an
alternative treatment and would like to find someone
who can do either.
I took a bunch
of pictures that I can share but we really need
someone to see it in person. To my not that trained
eye, I didn't see any evidence of insects or plague,
but bark is peeling, and leaves on one branch are
brown and crisp. Soil is not very good although I've
planted wildflowers and succulents in that area that
have been thriving, and got the gardener to put on a
load of mulch.
My mom is 97 and is in pretty good mental
shape, not so much physically. I visit her every
other week and would coordinate the consult with
when I'm there.
Thanks for any
leads!
