RECOMMENDATIONS ,,,_. With the excessive amount of rot and decay at the root flare, age of tree and location, i recommend that this tree be removed as soon as possibie. STRUCTURAL EVALUATION The tree canopy was inspected for the foifowing structural defects that may contribute to failure: dead branches, previous failures,topping or head cuts, broken branches, codominant stems, and live crown ratio. I looked for symptoms of decay such as wounds, cavities, cracks, fungal conks, cankers, bleeding and loose bark on both the stem and root collar, which indicate structural defects. GLOSSARY OF TERMS Bleeding: Flow of sap from plant wounds, injuries, or pathogen invasion. Canker: Localized diseased area on stems, roots and branches. Often shrunken and discolored. Cavities: 4pen or closed hollow within the tree stem, usually associated with decay. Codominant stem: Forked branches nearly the same size in diamefer, arising from a common junction and lacking a normal branch union. Critical Raot Zone: CRZ is the area of soil around the trunk of the tree where roots are located that provides stability and uptake of water and nutrients required for tree survival. The CRZ is the minimum distance from the trunk that trenching or root cutting can occur. Diameter at breast height(DBH): Measures at 1.4 meters (4.5 feet) above ground in United States. Fungal conks: Fruiting body or non fruiting body of a fungus. Often associated with decay. Topping: Inappropriate pruning technique to reduce tree size. Cutting back a tree to a predetermined crown limit, often at internodes. Wounds: A type of injury to the tree from mechanicaf or biologica! damage. � �-, Larry VanGroningen-Bay Area Tree Specialists-408-679-7117 Mobile ����',` 408-836-9147 Office larry.bayareatreespecialists c�i gmail.com BAYAR�.:� 541 W.Capitol Expwy#287 San Jose, Ca 95136 4 ������ Ciiff Chen Oak Tree Assessment and Recommendations December 28, 20'!5 APP�'ENDIX A: SITE OVERV1E�111 � ---�. .�--�—�,,, ��'-�� ,. r � � ��n � ,�-� �. � ✓ '"`�,s�` � �_ .r ;i.r �'�s�"�' �:����{�� ,� �-, . ,. ` ''j F u,�= :-, _ ;i` i'r .:, ���,A � y - j w� �. - ? ? ,.�#� s / ` � Y: � �e �' Ll+Sp�4 fl. � ::e���`'��`; J :; � j `�'#; �'� ,.F-^ .t :�J � � � ` `�� � r .1r 4'S` r��Y��H✓i' l �,r' � : .X� � ' 1 ''-'.�sa§ � ,y , '',s 'rx, _ ,�.�. cr- ,� �,�" �'�` ,...�. � � s t .�' �"�°�- .. � �. , t—��'����,� �i:�r � {t.+ r m"',- '*�1,r�.� �;P"�^�' -c'' ,."� �� 3c� '"C�� '�- ��,,,��'"�#.,,'� �'�'��� .- �, ��,� �P �r°q��-`��� . �✓ �^:�„�s�.,��, €�� �.''� "�;:.f»..a,'�-�,��s °� � '�..�. �>t � : .,.,,,,,,'ry�'�fia^".'r „ r tln�.� rq^r,�, t.� �a� � ,, ,� ; —«.x.;. ~� '\ �^�' P �' ��-,�,.� '-S+�'�'; +w,�'""",��� -'s..� � � ��:J� � � � w�"R�� yr��,_, ',� �� ,�f� a.., ""-'�:rc-"�r � . ��.w�-��"'���. ) '^-�-•�.,,...r �'..� � g � � � � G��� s - 4� �r.�s�a /�/,�� t'.'- �-� � . � x `.- # ��� � !��' ""--,,..� �� �y+'' � � Y �F �.�. � �•�' � �`� -L( � f �. - J�j�. � 3 Z��'6 , s�`} �. � � vT' .� bM�,��S � �.+�{� �� �"`_- ej,r: � ( J `�"*aar {§3'g 's` *' :`'�'.�Tv; $ f o+.."F ,�4 �-Sf.ft�t �� 1``�� �""2 r � E � . ��:��.�-E7 �r'� �ci' .'" . � � �� $„`ra`i,,,� -d,q„ �s n- 1 «;,�4 r ' ,t a.!�, -1�,*s. �`��u�� :�;c�.. i`^r,. � ���.� �f� :- ;� n.�. � ".� �„.. � � ;,. ; y -w4�+. .�+. w � :I f f�_ � � "('�-"'��' � � � � f �.�� ,,:v � .�"r ��",� ...s" . � � �� �. ,�"� j . y � Ki,r� .� "'�w t � �,. .q 7k3 ... ¢, � . �.�, �r . ,�. `+ �" . . �, . ^a. .. � >"c.� .. r � � � �i :�^-�-..""�. f :.`w"'' S " a�'+ fi �.
