In short, the trees are being removed.

Two giant sequoia trees in a Hobart park are being removed after 1937.

The Hobart City Council says the trees declined due to vandalism and fire.

What happens next?

The work will be done by the end of the week, and two new trees will be planted.

The removal of two dead giant sequoias from a Hobart park has started.

The trees were planted before World War II to commemorate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

The removal will take a week due to the size of the trees.

One tree is 32 meters high and 8.6 meters wide, and the other is 30 meters high and 8.7 meters wide.

The trees were declining rapidly due to fires, contaminants, and fungal pathogens.

The work to cut the trees has begun.

The council tried to save the trees but they did not respond to treatment.

The two trees were pictured after they were planted.

An 88-year-old giant sequoia tree is declining rapidly due to vandalism and fire.

The council confirmed the trees would be cut down this year.

The work started on Monday and will be completed by Friday.

After the trees are removed, the stumps will be leveled and remediation works will take place.

The council will replace the trees with two young giant sequoias later this year.

The trees have been declining rapidly since last year.

The council will decide how to use the timber from the trees.

The community and staff will be sad to see the trees go, but the park will remain beautiful.

The public is asked to avoid the site until the work is completed.

The dead trees do not pose an immediate risk, but they will decline and become a risk over time.

The park will remain open, but the area with the trees will be fenced off.

People visiting the park are asked to avoid the work site.
