A reader named Michele wrote in to tell me about a SF Department of Public Works project to replace the dozens of street trees planted earlier this year that died due to lack of water.
The trees were planted by a private contractor who guaranteed them, so they will now be coming back to replace them.
We need your help in identifying the affected trees in your area of the Richmond. The trees in this program were planted along Anza, Balboa and Cabrillo Streets and on some intersecting Avenues. You can recognize them by the three wooden pole supports that surround each tree.
If you have a tree nearby that matches this description (refer to the photo) and it is not showing new leaves, it is probably dead and due for replacement.
To ensure that the DPW project includes all affected trees in the replacement program, please send specific location information on the dead tree to Carla.Short@sfdpw.org by Monday evening.
Remember, the particular trees in this project should be surrounded by three pole supports as pictured here. When emailing, include the closest street address to the affected tree.
