As Hilliard’s city forester, I want to update you on the tree replacements within Britton Farms. The contractor has planted most of the trees within the subdivision, he’s just waiting on the nursery to send a few more. Most of the trees are replacements for removed ash trees. The city will continue to monitor and remove any right-of-way ash that reaches or exceeds the 80% crown dieback threshold. As trees are removed replacement trees will be planted.
Proper watering is the best action homeowners can take to ensure trees will grow and thrive. As long as the ground isn’t frozen, the attached gator bags should be refilled whenever the area receive less than 1″ of precipitation over a 7 to 10 day period. If you or any of your residents have questions, please have them contact me. Thanks.
