A live oak tree on the bluff (N. Bayview Ave.) which had been struck by lightning and infested with Formosan termites has been removed for public safety reasons.
City Horticulturist Fidler said the tree had been treated for termites; but it had to be removed because of hollow limbs and rot.
The remains will be disposed of in the city's landfill (any remaining termites would have gone back into the ground).
Another tree will be planted in the area according to Fidler.
