Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

A young tree on Shipp Drive in City Centre is growing at a severe horizontal angle (nearly 45-90 degrees from vertical) in the park grass area, approximately 5 meters from the sidewalk. The angled trunk suggests possible establishment failure or early wind damage, and as the tree matures, the abnormal growth presents a risk of trunk failure or branch collapse.

Description

Looks like it's growing sideways? (tree is 5m away)
