The heartbreaking Monterey cypress
I live in San Francisco and have a pair of enormous (60-70 ft) Monterey Cypress trees in my backyard. They're beautiful, but I worry sometimes about what the long term maintenance will cost, as well as what will happen when they reach the end of their life span. We have been told that they likely predate the subdivision in which the house was built, making them around 100 years old now. They look healthy right now, but for how much longer? I wonder if the crying friend in this article attempted to help the family find and pay for a qualified arborist who might have been able to save the tree that died. I'm guessing probably not. That kind of work can cost $5k-10k for a single pruning. It's one thing to cry over a cherished neighborhood tree, it's another thing entirely to get involved and actually preserve said tree.— December 2, 2022 11:15 a.m.
