From the Maitland Mercury report:
Another of Maitland’s iconic London plane trees is in danger.
The tree, at the front of Maitland City Library, looks half dead with leaves only growing on one side.
The tree is the third London plane tree in Maitland’s CBD to show signs of ill health.
Two trees near Maitland courthouse were identified as suffering from a bug infestation and heat stress when Lochinvar arborist Steve Watson and Newcastle arborist John Atkins examined them at the Mercury’s request in February.
