San Diego city crews began removing a massive eucalyptus tree in Balboa Park Wednesday, over concerns the tree was in danger of falling. The tree is located near the Spreckels Organ Pavilion where crews spent hours removing the branches. Around 9:00 a.m., a crane was brought in to help remove the tree section by section. "[The tree] has a significant lean. In inspections, we found cracks at the bottom of it, as well as exposed roots and soft soil which are obviously causes of concern," said Jose Ysea, spokesperson for the City of San Diego. Last week, 35 large trees came down in Balboa Park due to high wind coupled with plenty of rain. A woman was hit by a falling tree while walking her dog. She suffered serious injuries, but is expected to be ok. MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/remove-massive-eucalyptus-tree-balboa-park/509-4f2841ae-aa29-4910-8f0f-2f259410fc23
