Wookie Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 What a same. Since you didn't report any injuries or damage to houses we will just assume there were none. These trees are so pretty but this does seem to be a problem as they age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradshoe Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Such short roots. I kept looking to see if there was a car trapped under the tree but didn't see one - also trying to stay out of the way. Lots of chain saws going but no ambulance so we figured except for some power lines that looked twangled most everything was in the middle of the road.

hensley Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Pretty soon the arch of trees will be gone, thanks goodness I took pictures almost 9 years ago when it was solid going through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the photo, oldshoe. Where in La Floresta was that tree? Impossible to tell from the foto. Doesn't look like the carretera....but again, impossible to tell. Last I checked, there was still a GIANT Eucalyptos down near the tennis courts of Hotel Real de Chapala, which fortunately fell on a vacant lot. Think it came down around the 4th of July.

Intercasa Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yes, tree down by Real de Chapala still there, what good luck it fell on only empty lot, they are cutting it little by little but passing on the street is a bit precarious as the hole where the roots are gets bigger with the rains, almost unpassable.

bradshoe Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Travis, so sorry. I spent 20 minutes figuring out how to post the picture I forgot to include anything else. It was on the carratera just west of Tobolandia. We doubled back on the lateral on the lake side of the highway looking toward upper La Floresta. Cars traveling west were diverted at Tobalandia to the west bond lateral. We were headed east and were diverted into lower La Floresta at Paeo de la Pesca. I'm with Luke and Hensley, who knows how long these old trees will survive. I'd kinda hope there's some sort of remedial solution/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have a friend who took a picture of the Laurel Strip in 1975 and there wasn't a tree to be seen. That suggests to me that this particular type of laurel is relatively fast growing. It seems to me one of the trees captured a westbound red pick-up truck 5 pr 6 years ago. Now the hole where the tree was seems to have filled in although without the stately presence of the older trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
