The large mature trees in the flower boxes on 1st Street east of Chesapeake Avenue and Bay Avenue from 1st Street through the Anne Arundle County line , and from Atlantic Avenue on the boardwalk all the way north and along some other side streets east of Chesapeake Avenue, are infected by a blight. It is attacking the trees from the top down and it will kill all the trees unless they are treated immediately with some type of spray. If the town loses these trees, two choices will be available. Dig them up or dig them up and replace them. Both alternatives are expensive. The treatment will be expensive as well.
Even though Town Hall, the Mayor and several Council members have been notified of this problem and have been given some contact information by his writer, if you know what specie of tree these are, what type of blight is causing the damage or what is the recommended course of treatment, respond to this blog, e-mail me @ijlaw@aol.com or contact Town Hall. This is your Town! This is your neighborhood! This is protecting your environment! Get involved.
Kudos to Michael Parrish for spotting this problem. Way to go Michael!
