About 100 trees in the Ralphs grocery store parking lot, 6670 Montezuma Rd. San Diego, CA 92115, were illegally and unprofessional “topped” in October 2019. This was done by an unlicensed contractor who was working for the property management contractor, who is under contract with Kroger Corporation. National standards (ANSI A300 for tree pruning) and City of San Diego code was violated.
More photos are in this album with some comparisons from GoogleEarth street view in 2018. The Community Forest Advisory Board sent a letter to the City of San Diego about code compliance (generally) and a letter with photos sent about the illegal work done at the Ralph’s parking lot.
