Challenges with ficus trees Ficus micropcarpa ‘Nitida’

  • Once popular street tree

(green & so healthy looking!)

  • Initial issues were sidewalk damage/tree roots
  • Removed from planting list in mid 1990s
  • Increasing amount of large stem failures
  • Public safety concerns:

Blocked roads, property damage, injuries

Director’s Order No. 183151 Tree Removal Criteria for Ficus

  • Acknowledges the benefits and value of ficus

trees

  • Outlines in detail the structural defects that are

leading to the large stem failures

  • Primary issue: codominant stems with narrow

angles of attachment, with or without included bark

Reached out to community to explain our findings

  • Identified 39 street trees, mostly ficus, in the

immediate area

  • Staff attended HVNA meetings and offered to walk

and look at the trees together to point out our concerns, tree by tree

Community sentiment & feedback was very strong

  • We were asked repeatedly to return to see if any

trees could be phased or pruned more aggressively

  • Review of 28 trees still proposed for removal
  • Review of 11 now proposed to be retained, but

with “experimental” aggressive pruning
