A cypress tree affected by dog urine and dry branches on Bisbe Strauch street in Vic.

A cypress tree located on Bisbe Strauch street in Vic is in a delicate state of health due to the negative impact of dog urine and soil salt accumulation.

The tree exhibits brownish and yellowish branches that droop, indicating severe stress. Soil salinization around the roots is causing rot at the base of the trunk, while dog urine burns the lower part and roots of the plant.
According to the information received, although the tree is not dead, it requires urgent intervention for its recovery. A general cleaning is proposed, along with the placement of a trunk protector to prevent future contact with urine and a sanitary pruning to remove dry or affected branches, thus preventing the spread of fungi.
