Investigating
Mistletoe damaging a healthy tree
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9053526.
Outside our property number 20 Merevale Road, one of your trees is being killed by mistletoe damaging its growth, the debris from this is falling onto the path making it slippy, this issue was reported to tree maintenance few months back when they were doing an observation of all the trees in the road, this was on foot not over the phone! This tree should be blossoming but it’s being joked by the mistletoe that’s killing it. They made a note of this and said it would be looked into! It’s getting worse. There is nothing wrong with the tree and could be saved if it was given some maintenance!!!!!
