Residents, City Still In Dispute On Trees

The debate over 13 trees in Barnaby Woods remains unresolved because District officials and an arborist representing neighborhood residents have yet to agree on which ones should be removed.

The D.C. Division of Transportation began studying the trees after Pepco undertook an aggressive pruning program in the neighborhood two months ago to prevent power outages.

Michelle Pourciau, deputy director for DDOT, said the disagreement centers on six trees. She said Ainsley Caldwell, the District’s chief forester, concluded that five of the six trees should be removed after inspecting them with a new device designed to measure decay.

But arborist Keith Pitchford, who used a Resistograph, which measures a tree’s density by drilling a tiny hole, found that only one of the six trees should be taken down.
