Ameren Encourages You To Think Before You Plant Trees

Trees around power lines can be very dangerous especially when storms happen. You should take the time to understand and make sure you have a good reason why you are planting that tree. When planting trees Rick Johnson with Ameren says, you should really make sure that you are thinking 20 years in the future.

 

 

Johnson also encourages people who are planting to call arborists so you can have someone help you figure out the best tree to plant and where to plant it.

 

 

Ameren says its better to have those discussions early rather than later.  Johnson says they don’t want to move the tree but will do it if they have too especially if trimming doesn’t work. 

 

 

Johnson says with winter coming, to be aware of power lines that are down.
