Hello
Long time listener first time caller
I am hoping for opinions on how this tree should have been handled correctly
If it is still viable and safe with the extent of the trim/logging
What would be a “made whole” action anyone could suggest.
Details:
It’s a 120 year old black walnut planted the same year as our century home.
It is a non boundary tree
We granted the neighbours request to have the 1/2 dozen 6”-12” dead branches trimmed.
They booked a service which came while we were at work and removed massively more than communicated.
From the photos I believe it shows roughly 2/3rds of the tree removed. None of the remaining branches were touched.
We are located in Ontario canada.
It is early September and the tree was still covered in leaves and walnuts
The foliage branches and trunks removed were healthy and not diseased, dead or broken.
Will the remaining leaves be sufficient to keep the tree alive
Will the existing branches and their height be able to withstand ice and snow storms without the support and protection of the removed mass.
Will the trunk of the tree be able to adapt to the entirely new “balance” of the canopy.
Has enough been left to prevent the tree going into shock
What, if any, corrective actions should be taken
How would an arborist or trimmer “make whole” in the situation of this drastic an error.
