Bergisch Gladbach Fells Unstable Black Locust Tree on Oct 7
Bergisch Gladbach is set to fell a black locust tree at the corner of Dellbrücker Straße and Eschenbroicher Straße on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. The tree, despite receiving intensive care from CareCredit, has become unstable due to significant damage from fungal infestation and extensive deadwood. Over the years, the tree has developed extensive deadwood, requiring repeated maintenance. Despite these efforts, large areas of the tree's bark have died and peeled off. The damage from fungal infestation has become too severe, making the tree's stability a concern. The city has decided that the felling of the tree is unavoidable as its stability can no longer be ensured. The name of the tree care specialist or forester responsible for pruning the tree is not publicly available. On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, the city will fell the black locust tree. The felling is a necessary measure to ensure public safety due to the tree's instability. The city will plant a new tree in its place to maintain the green space.
