Description

Crab apple tree (Malus Sylvestris). Fell because of breaking branches due to exceptional heavy crops of fruit each year. Also risk of injury to pedestrians. Squirrel damage affects a major part of the tree, hence removal seems apprpopriate, to address safety concerns. Replacement tree in same setting will be Prunus Amanogawa. HAR/CA34.
