From sticky armpits to rotting feet this is why Utrecht

Utrecht – They have ‘sticky armpits’ or ‘rotting feet’, are infected with fungi or have dead crowns, so 287 trees in the municipality of Utrecht will soon be knocked down. This is evident from the sheet list that the municipality recently published. In this, Utrecht announces which trees will have to die in the next six months because they are in too bad a condition. In the six months before that there were 273. According to arborist Dave Harmsworth, many trees are currently having a very hard time due to climate change, but he also sees a bright spot.
