Description
Hello, Urban Forestry, A quick question. Does Urban Forestry work in any way to help city residents eliminate the highly invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) on private property? I realize that this is unlikely with the department no doubt working on a tight budget, but thought I’d ask, especially in light of the rising concern over the coming arrival of the spotted lanternfly (tree of heaven host plant). Thanks for any information you can offer.
