Tree Pathologist: Let 21 trees in Naga live, 7 have to go

Six centuries old acacia trees are being cut in Barangay Inuburan in Naga City Cebu. | Delta LetigioThis was the recommendation of Dr. Ernesto Militante, a tree pathologist, who assessed the conditions of the trees along the Naga City roads that were due for cutting.

Some of the “strangled” trees, Militante said, however, could still be saved if the cement that chokes its base will be removed.For two century-old trees that were sitting on the sidewalks, Militante recommended that warning signs should be installed at least 100 meters ahead so that motorists can prepare to slow down as they are approaching the big trees.

“Naging hazard na siya kasi gumawa ng daan eh nandoon naman na yung puno. Nauna na yung puno doon,” Militante told CDN Digital. The trees in the roadsides of Naga City have been marked for cutting in order to complete the road widening project in the area.
