Tree of Heaven Removal #873143

Asked June 14, 2024, 3:47 PM EDT

Hello, I'm in Baltimore and there is a Tree of Heaven in my back yard alley. I've been pulling our the small ones sprouting for the last few years and trying to get the thousands of lantern fly nymphs. Is there any organization that would help me kill and remove this large tree of heaven? It is about 30ft tall I believe. I know it can be extremely expanse, but wondering if there is any rebate or organization that will do it at lower cost. Thank you, Michael

Hi, 

To our knowledge there is not a specific organization that can help with this but you may want to ask around to see: 

Weed Warriors /Tree Baltimore

Baltimore Forestry Department

These would be a good start. 

You could try to consult with a certified arborist or licensed tree expert for a quote on removal. 

Penn State Extension has a good page you can follow if you would like to attempt to remove yourself, because it takes time to kill them. You would then need to have it safely removed.

Let us know if you have further questions.
