Some cities now have metal inventory tags on trees but you may have illiterate/idiot crews that just don't look.
Vancouver, B.C. had several deliberate tree poisonings as home owners wanted to improve their view.
Or send someone out to make a "mistake" and it's out of the way. They did catch the heiress of Army/Navy dept. stores when she didn't pay the crackheads she got to do the dirty deed.
What I suggested to one elderly homeowner in British Properties W. Vancouver was to Caution Tape all shrubs she didn't want touched. The enthusiastic crew still butchered a hydrangea that she had planted with the house, in 1957. Give another 80 years and it's be back to it's original size.
One of those typical 'certified arborist' tree cutting joints; most are 'all the same' = workers with chain saws and most of those workers could not identify an oak of any species vs a sassafras...

Absolutely true. They butcher trees at homes all the time. The contractor comes out himself to sell you on the service, then drops off a bunch of Spanish speaking day laborers to do the job and never looks back. They destroyed my back yard and cut our power lines in so many places that we had to have the electric company put in all new power lines. It's atrocious and should be better regulated.
I know that tree well and it started my love of Gingkos well over 40 years ago. I'm just sick to read this. Sick sick sick and broken hearted as well.
The gingko is an amazing and interesting tree, with undoubtedly THE most beautiful leaf of any tree. The irony here is, this is an ancient tree with a history going back thousands of years. In my woody plants class in college, I remember being told that the gingko biloba has outlived all of its predators and diseases and is pretty much a disease free tree that is never bothered by pests -- only by stupid human fools who can't tell their arse from their elbow.
