Site visit set for June 17 as TreeVitalize Fall 2026 application is reviewed
Summary
Gib Miller scheduled a TreeVitalize site visit with Brian Crooks of WPC on June 17 to review Fall 2026 application sites; committee discussed a struggling London Plane tree and a Swissvale Library request for Black Gum trees, with WPC advising smaller caliper stock and suggesting a Spring 2027 planting due to high fall mortality for that species.
Gib Miller said he set up a site visit with Brian Crooks from WPC for Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. to review all sites included in Swissvale’s Fall 2026 TreeVitalize application and invited members to meet at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Columbia Avenue. Miller added the visit will include an assessment of a London Plane planted last fall that is not looking healthy.
Miller reported that Kate from the Swissvale Library requested four 3–3.5 caliper Black Gum trees for the library lawn as specified by the renovation architects, but Brian Crooks indicated WPC can only obtain 2-caliper Black Gum trees and that WPC does not plant that species in the fall due to historically high mortality; WPC offered to provide smaller caliper trees for a Spring 2027 planting and Miller said Kate will confirm her preference with the architects.
