Neighbors Crossing The Line
Q: A neighbor cut down a tree on the property line without consent. It was a mature 75-foot hardwood with a 6-foot trunk at the base. Can you recommend someone who can provide an appraisal of the value of the tree?
A: You won’t find a bigger group of tree huggers in one place than the regular meetings of the Georgia Arborist Association. They sponsor regular trainings in English and Spanish and hold an annual tree climbing contest. They are your best source for professional tree experts. When you hire someone, make sure they are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Anyone who has ISA certification knows lots more than you and me about trees, including tree disease identification, limb weight determination, and tree valuation. Most don’t practice the latter as a profession, but there are members of GAA who specialize. You can find a list of members and their specialties at georgiaarborist.org.
