Catalpa on Manor Rd. at Belcourt Rd.
200 year old tree coming down
A Catalpa tree that has been a landmark on Manor Rd has been cut down with the approval of the City Forestry Service. The Catalpa was at Manor and Belcourt Rd since before there were homes there. A sonic tomography procedure was conducted on the tree which revealed that it was hollow and rotten in several locations. As a result, staff concluded that the tree was in poor condition and have since secured a compensation plan for replanting.
