Episode Details

San Vicente Boulevard’s iconic coral trees are in critical danger—nine out of thirteen assessed are now flagged as “high risk” and could fall within two years, adding to a grim tally of thirty-two already lost. Arborist Jonathan Flournoy found nearly all trees suffering from severe decay, root damage, and sparse foliage, with the banana moth likely accelerating collapse in drought-weakened trees. Recovery is nearly impossible, and trimming won’t help—removal is the only safe option. With heavy traffic below, a falling tree could cause serious accidents. The city now faces a tough decision: act fast or risk catastrophe.
