Description
Large, almost completely dead tree continues to drop medium to very large branches, even without high winds. Most land harmlessly, but that's largely due to luck. Many of these could/would damage cars or harm people if dropped on them. It happens almost bi-weekly to monthly. We have many more pictures of many different branches that have fallen and impacted the ground or shattered all over the road.

Q. Where is the tree?
A. Within 6-8 feet of the main road. HoCo has been out before and trimmed it extensively, but the tree is a lost cause.

Hello, Shelley,
The stump was very definitely NOT removed and I'm very frustrated about this whole process. The stump of my neighbor 9422 was removed, however mine is still there.

Sorry user Rich, we as a County are governed by the State and their regulations. We have to put a tree back in. If you’re concerned about the type of tree, I’d be happy to discuss that with you.
