I have been contacted by a number of people recently about the red and yellow marks that have appeared on some trees on South Anderson Drive and Anderson Drive.

I have now been told by Aberdeen’s City Council’s Arboricultural Officer that these marks do mean there will potentially be “some tree removals” after consultation but that “extensive replanting” will also take place.

Below is the reply I received from the council’s Arboricultural Officer about the marks on the trees:

Hello Councillor Yuill,

This relates to some improvements  for cycle ways  planned by our Roads colleagues adjacent to the road. I was consulted and saw this as an opportunity to look at some of the copper beech lining the route as some of them are badly cankered – at least 1 has already died (hence you will see on the wide grass verge opposite ASDA I started planting replacement redwoods some time ago).

This scheme will see some tree removals but also very extensive replanting-we are going to plant a Eucalyptus species.

However as always before any tree felling happens we will consult fully.
