Bergisch Gladbach Fells Unstable Black Locust Tree on October 7

Bergisch Gladbach is set to remove a black locust tree on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, due to instability caused by a fungal infestation and damage. The tree, located at the corner of Dellbrücker Straße and Eschenbroicher Straße, is being felled for safety reasons. The fungal infestation has weakened the tree's structure, making it unstable. Despite efforts to save the tree, the damage is too extensive. The city has not disclosed the type of planting specialist or forestry authority responsible for the care of the tree. The removal of the black locust tree is a necessary measure to ensure public safety. The city will plant a new tree in its place to maintain the urban forest.
