Historic Pepper Trees of Kensington

Same can be said for the urban forest.

How did Sam do? We hired Urban Forester Sam Oludunfe in January 2020 to perform a Level 2 Risk Assessment of the three peppers trees removed on March 17. His findings: 4772 Marlborough Drive: Tree # 4 appears to be stable at this time although there is a need to conduct further assessment of the trees to determine their structural soundness. 4756 Marlborough Drive: Tree # 3 appears to be stable at this time although there is a need to conduct further assessment of the tre...es to determine their structural soundness. 4748 Marlborough Drive: Tree # 5 should be removed as soon as possible because its structural integrity has been compromised by decay. One of these things is not like the others. Sam found it, can you?

And shame on Todd "My hands are tied" Gloria.

Just wrong. And for the record, only one tree had significant hollowing. Look carefully for the two solid trunks on the other trees.
