CORONADO -- The city of Coronado has started cutting down eucalyptus trees that have been rooted in one neighborhood for more than 100 years, prompting one man to plant himself among the branches.

"Let's have the dialogue," said Dan'l Steward from his perch about 15 feet above the ground. "I'm trying to create another window."

City crews began trimming back or removing all the eucalyptus trees on E Avenue Monday, after a resident complained the aging trees were a safety concern.

"A giant limb from one of these trees fell when my wife was coming back from a run, and it almost killed her," Mike Chase said of the 2013 incident.

The city dispatched an arborist to the neighborhood who agreed -- the trees are a liability concern.

Another E Avenue resident, Scott Wertz, says if the old eucalyptus have to go, he wants to see them replaced with other eucalyptus.

FLORENCE If a tree falls in the township, does anyone hear it?

The residents of Boulevard Street sure do, but they feel local officials are deaf to their concerns.

The municipality has been removing trees as part of its project to repave the street and fix curbs and sidewalks. It received a grant for the work, which includes Boulevard Street from Front to Fifth streets.

John T. Smith, who has lived on Boulevard Street for 47 years, said the township is removing a lot of old trees that give the street its character. According to resident David Dimon, as many as 27 trees have been taken out.

After hearing residents concerns, Mayor Craig Wilkie, Township Councilman Jerry Sandusky, Township Engineer Anthony LaRosa and Assistant Township Administrator Tom Sahol met with homeowners to discuss the project.

Smith was not satisfied with the response he got.

The tree removal has destroyed the character of the street, he said.

Smith believes municipal workers are chopping down the trees, some taller than the three-story Victorian homes that line the neighborhood, because they dont want to work around them.

But after a professional arborist surveyed the area and reported that a number of trees were diseased, the township had no choice but to cut them down, officials said.

The trees are in such a state of decline that, in all likelihood in the very near future, we could see a failure of the tree, Sahol said. While the work is taking place, the opportunity is now to remove these safety hazards so that we can reinstall as many trees as possible to give the character of Boulevard Street back to what it should be.

Annika Jimenez Gwen Minor of Redwood City began sitting in an oak tree Friday to protest the city cutting it down. The city said the tree was diseased and need to be taken down.

A woman took up residence in an oak tree in Redwood City Friday to protest it being cut down, saving the tree at least for now.

Redwood City teacher Gwen Minor began sitting in a large tree on the corner of Alameda de las Pulgas and Goodwin Avenue in the Woodside Plaza neighborhood 5 a.m. Friday. The city has monitored the tree for some time and it is dying because it is suffering from an advanced Armillaria infection, which has caused failure at the root crown and the root plate, and destruction of the buttress roots along the trunks entire circumference, said city spokesman Malcolm Smith.

Given the concerns about the planned removal expressed by at least one neighbor, the city will not proceed with the work at this time, while it further communicates with the resident and other neighbors to ensure there is a full understanding of the need for removal and replacement of this tree, Smith said.

Our consulting arborist deems the entire tree at overall extreme risk of imminent failure meaning large branches or sections of trunk (or the entire tree) could break apart and fall, Smith wrote in an email. Cars and pedestrians in the area are at risk when this kind of tree failure occurs. The city has spent several years trying to maintain the tree and to find ways to not only keep it, but to keep it viable. However, its abundantly clear from the arborists report that the tree is not structurally sound and is in danger of falling over or breaking apart. Because of its size and proximity to the street and to pedestrians, this tree poses a public safety hazard that we do not believe can reasonably be solved, short of removal.

Minor sees saving the tree as vital, however, and is hoping if the city cant save it, it can at least open a dialogue to replant native oaks to replace ones that are dying.

Its a 200-year-old oak and it needs to stay up, she said while sitting in the tree. Its a treasure of the community and we cant afford to lose it. I am tree sitting today. I love this oak tree. Everybody loves this tree and theyre so important to the community.

She noted its amazing how everyone has a personal connection to the tree. She brought lunch, water and sunglasses for the occasion.

Theres ways to keep it up by girding it up with steel girders or beams or by pruning the long branches back, she said. Or put a structure around it to let it die naturally.

Still, Smith said the city is very proud and protective of the urban forest its been able to maintain throughout the community. Unfortunately, he said, in some cases a tree becomes diseased or damaged to the point where it becomes a safety hazard, and the only prudent and viable option is removal and replacement.

Woman sits in tree to protest cutting: Redwood City says oak tree is dying and poses a public threat

THERE are many accepted dangers of the harsh Australian environment and the native eucalyptus tree is one.

THERE are many accepted dangers of the harsh Australian environment and the native eucalyptus tree is one.

As a resident of Albion Park Rail had discovered, eucalyptus trees were given the nickname Widow Maker for dropping their large boughs without warning. This process of self-pruning is a natural practicefor the tree to save water or a result of brittle wood.

On an otherwise calm Saturday afternoon recently, resident Lynette Cave came home to discover a branch about 4mlong had fallen into her backyard.

Just moments before it came down the neighbour's four-year-old was playing right underneath the tree, she said.

Its very concerning because you just never know when it will happen.

The tree is located in a neighbouring private property and hangs over the backyards of four residential blocks, two being unit blocks. Ms Cave said she had contacted the council several times expressing her safety concerns for those living underneath the tree.
