Hi Rebecca,
I'm carbon copying Clara Sorrells on this question. I know about the
tree that you're referencing. It's located outside our jurisdiction,
but it never hurts to ask the vendor if they can go ahead and treat that
tree as well. It would definitely make sense to prune the branches on
that tree, since they are hanging over our property and can be hard to
reach.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Im in unit 706 and there is a tree at our back fence that needs the growth
inhibitor as it pushes the fence and is getting close to our roofline.
Would it be possible for them to treat that tree as well?
Im working from home tomorrow and can give them access to the tree.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
The trees in our community have grown tall over the years, and it is
time to prune them. About every 2-3 years, the bottom of the trees get
pruned, but not much attention has been paid to the height or width of
the trees.
Tomorrow, a growth inhibitor will be applied to the trees. The goal is
to reduce the speed at which the trees grow, both vertically and
horizontally. It will also reduce the root growth, which could
eventually cause damage to the cement curbs and driveways. The
treatment is expected to inhibit growth for approximately three years.
While this treatment costs money, it is cheaper than pruning the trees
more frequently.
At a later date, but within the next 30 days, the trees will also be
pruned, so that they will not touch the buildings when the wind blows.
Thanks,
Alex
