Many are sky-high Douglas Firs that have been there for decades.
Association Director, Hilary Bublitz backs the decision.
She said, if these trees aren’t taken care of, homeowners will be at risk. Trees infected with the pathogen become hollowed, their roots are weakened, and are, therefore, more prone to falling over. “It’s a very upsetting thing that’s happening,” said Bublitz. “What we cannot do is ignore it and hope it goes away.”
According to Bublitz, laminated root rot was first detected following the big windstorm of this past fall. An arborist was hired by the neighborhood group to take a core sample from a tree that had toppled. They sent that sample to Oregon State University and scientists confirmed it had indeed contracted the pathogen.
