Dear Dave and Nadine;,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide recomrriendations cancei�n�ng the appropriate

A1tl�oug;h th� recommendations in th'is �eport are based an sound and accepted arboriculturai
pract���s:, �he a+�tho� canri:ot be held respansibl� for the f�nal outcome of the recommendatioris
or any.lia'b�lifiie� associated vvith th�s pro�ee�'. Tree insp;ectic�ns do ri�t c�iver alf internal cavities,

P1�ase cons�d'er my c�bservations as r�.r�ted;beLov�i:
�����i��Q, ��-���p Qi►e�cus ra�ri�ali�- Caast Liv� aak trees, The subject trees were found �c� be
infected wi�h the armillaria rr�ell:ea fu.ng,us and vu.ere permitted fQ,r removal by�he City of
Cu'p.e rfii n o,
������6�� ����� �;u�� ��� �������� �.��g;�a��i��' �u-��; This tree pr�sents a danger to the
residerice d:�ae.to rts Iean tciwarci the ,res�derice, Also, the presence of armillaria rnellea fungus.
ne:arby sug.g
esfis that thi-s specimen rnay aiso be i'nfectec( and therefQr� at a higher risk of
failure,
���a�rrav�a��a�����aa��: �n vievv of�he r'islc of physica(failure coupf�d with risk�f fungal infectic�n
3ead.ing tn failure, it i� t�ny recomrnendatio.n that t�te remaining 'Coast Live �ak �Q�a:ercus:
agrifolia} also :be removed,
Due to the e-rvas'ive nature of t��e arrnillar.ia mellea fun�us and its extens�ve presence`in your

yard, it is unlii<ely t,h.at �vet� remaval of tl�e lo�al:soil �o a depth of five to si� f.eet v+�ould
remediat'e the risk;to any introduced �replacement} Qak trees (re�ardless of'speci�5}.
Additz�:nally, the cost of �uch a plart is very hig�i compared to �ts 1ow p;robability of succes�.
