Dear Mr. Delius:
Today I went to the home of Mrs. Berrien Moore-3648 Kingsboro Ra. N.E.
where I found the following:
1-Sapsuckers have made many holes in the trunks of loblolly pines in 4 or 5
trees in her front yard. No evidence of insect attack exists, and there is no danger
that the trees will die from the sapsuckers work. The trees are mature, but should
live for years.
2-Oak trees in the yard were found to be free of any serious problem-one
tree appears to have been struck by lightening some years ago, but the area
is being enclosed b, wound tissue, and should live for years.
S-It seems that some self styled "tree expert" recently told Mrs. Moore that
she should have her pine trees removed because they are filled with bugs that
could emerge and kill the trees in neighbors yards. The same person also told
her that her orks are in danager of falling and need to be removed. I assured
her that neither is a likely thing. This points out the great need we have in |
Atlanta to have a tree ordinance that would provide supervision of these so
called "tree experts" and prevent them from preying upon the uninformed public.
We have had several reports about unfounded insect and disease problems given
to property owners by the organization that contacted Mrs. Moore as well as
other groups.
