Tree Dying
We are running a hose to this HOA tree next to our yard in an attempt to save it, for now. The irrigation has run one time since May and the Santa Ana winds and heat appear to be pushing it over the edge. This will be the biggest tree to die yet, if it fails. The HOA has turned off the water except for just a few feet near the road. The ground cover in the fuel modification zone is dead, except for cactus and desert broom. It is pure negligence. It’s profitable for the landscape company because we are paying for a contract to take care of all of the property, but in places like this, they only take care of what’s next to the road. In other places they cut it to the ground and eliminate work. The HOA and landscape company may argue that the irrigation times are irregular, but we confirm that they aren’t running by putting tissues on the sprinklers.
