Re: 607 Park Avenue Tree <br />Brent Thompson <bthompso@southbendin.gov> <br />Mon 8/5/2024 2:31 AM <br />To: Kate Himick <Khimick@southbendin.gov> <br />Kate, I inspected the Ash tree on 8-2-24. It is located in the backyard. On the north side of the tree trunk, there <br />is a decay column, but I was unable to inspect it without going to the neighbor's property. The property owners <br />have a low tolerance for risk. There is difficulty in accessing equipment for aerial inspection of the tree in the <br />backyard. Additionally, there are old significant heading cuts where decay could be present. It's important to <br />note that Ash trees are susceptible to emerald ash borer, which can kill the tree. The recommendation would <br />be tree removal and replacement.
