Tree Maintenance Work To Take Place In East Anaheim The Week Of Oct. 24, 2011

ANAHEIM, CA---The City of Anaheim has tentatively scheduled the removal of 20 Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees along Santa Ana Canyon Road the week of Oct. 24.  The City’s Public Works Tree Maintenance staff, all of whom are certified arborists, along with independent plant pathologists have proactively inspected all Eucalyptus trees, including approximately 100 Blue Gum species, along Santa Ana Canyon Road from Imperial Highway to Fairmont Drive and determined to replace up to 20 trees due to damage from disease.  The arborists are currently inspecting all Eucalyptus trees throughout Anaheim to ensure the trees are healthy and growing properly.

During this tree evaluation process, the arborists will also prune any City Eucalyptus tree as needed as a precaution for the upcoming wind and fire season.

Anaheim Public Works maintains more than 1,037 Eucalyptus trees throughout the City, 408 of which are of the Blue Gum species.  The replacement trees will be planted within 60 days.
