What does Public Works do in terms of citing/fining the homeowner for improperly disposing of bulk trash? Does Public Works just pick it up? This does not discourage such behavior, and encourage following proper procedure, i.e. making an appointment for bulk trash pick up.
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the most beautiful tree on Bishop -- The Magnolia at 127 (is it?) is now dying It is neglected and being strangled by ivy. This year the poor struggling thing produced about 3 or 4 blossoms only - the rest died in the effort and are now seen as black corpses on the stems. I don't know what to do about this? Can we save this beautiful tree? It won't take long to remove the ivy and I'm willing to work on it-- but is permission needed from the owner - How does this work?
Item picked up. Issue closed. If you need to report another issue please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works at (203) 946 - 7700. Thanks.
Rosemarie. The tree is not dying. The original buds were killed off by the late frost/cold weather that came through after it began blooming. The tree had begun blooming beautifully as usual and the blossoms were destroyed from the cold
No This is not so. There were only about a dozen blossoms all told (out of the usual hundreds) and all them weak and wretched. We were anxious and looked closer /could see the ivy. The ivy will kill the tree. Meanwhile the blossoms which are usually abundant and healthy are now withered on the bud. Anyone can see them / They are black and starved of life. I am happy to help you take out the ivy -- This is/ WAS a stunningly beautiful shrub -- the pride of Bishop St in the Spring! and a kind of harbinger of Spring for all of us on Bishop. PLease help ?
Much discussion has involved whether or not ivy climbing trees will harm them. In Europe the harm is generally minor although there can be competition for soil nutrients, light, and water, and senescent trees supporting heavy ivy growth can be liable to windthrow damage.[4] Harm and problems are more significant in North America, where ivy is without the natural pests and diseases that control its vigour in its native continents; the photosynthesis or structural strength of a tree can be overwhelmed by aggressive ivy growth leading to death directly or by opportunistic disease and insect attacks caused by weakness from the duress.[citation needed]m Online source :
I don't remember what this tree actually looks like or the ivy. However, if you want to remove ivy, its easy. I just removed it from two trees in my backyard that were covered in it. All you have to do is cut the ivy at the base of the tree where its thickest. All the climbing ivy will die and gradually fall off. Good luck.
Rosemarie. I'm sorry but you're mistaken. This was the tree THIS YEAR before the frost. You can see the chair being complained about in the bottom right hand corner
