San Vicente’s Coral Trees in Crisis | Venice Beach News

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. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
