Old Mossy Horns
So Duke Power has Asplundh trimming back the lines where I live. Two huge magnolia trees ruined with one side shaved off, but that's another topic.
There is a huge pine, much bigger around than a fifty gallon barrel, that is sitting right on the highway less than twenty feet from the pavement. No ditch between pavement and my yard. The Asplundh guy trimmed every limb off of it all the way to the top on the yard side and left every limb on the road side. It doesn't take a genius to see that the next ice storm or wind will take that tree down right across both lanes of the highway. I told the Asplundh guy that and his response was, "Then the state will clean it up".
My concern is that if that tree fell on a vehicle it could easily kill the occupants. I know there are some folks on here who work with tree cutting and some who work with state agencies. Who should I contact at the state level to get this taken care of, I don't care about saving the tree but it is now a hazard?
