We assured her that our crews were just going to <br /> trim the low limbs from over the street and sidewalk and prune out some of the <br /> excess water sprouts in the crown. This work will reduce both the potential of <br /> limb failure caused by excessive number of water sprouts cluster at an old cut <br /> and the possiblity of damage to the tree from passing truck traffic breaking <br /> off low limbs. <br /> In addition, we informed her that we will let her know a day in advance of our <br /> return to her street to prune the trees. Ms. White thought this approach to <br /> be acceptable. She then proceeded to give us a tour of her garden. <br /> To prevent similar incidents from happening again we are producing a "door <br /> hanger" to inform the public when we will be in their neighborhood, what type <br /> of tree maintenance will be done, and why we are providing this service (I will <br /> send you a copy when they are printed). In addition, I plan to write an <br /> article for the neighborhood news letters letting residents know of our sys- <br /> tematic tree maintenance program. <br />
