I inspected the site on July 18, 2016. ���������� � Inspect one Valley Oak tree for health and safety. � Provide report outlining findings and recommendations. ������� �� ��� ���9������ No aerial inspection, trenching or resistance drilling was performed. � No Biological tests were performed. Only a visual inspection from the ground was performed. ������� ��� ��� �� ��8� ������ The purpose of this repart is to provide recommendations regarding this tree that has caused a concern. ������������ The Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), is located in front of the home on north side of property.'(Appendix A: Site Overview). This free:is approximately 40 feet tall with a trunk diameter of 38 inches. The average canopy spread is about 50 feet. Targets include two occupied dwellings. It is 20 feet from one of the homes.(Appendix B) The bark is peeling off all around the lower 8 feet of main stem, indicating rapid decline in health and interior dry rot that is not visible with the naked eye. (Appendix B1) Root flare has large cavity and is non-existent on east side of tree. (Appendix B2) Main stem shows evidence of dry rot and cavities, indicating another area of lack of structural integrity.

Henry Fivang Tree Assessment and Recommendations July 19, 2016 �����������0��� With the excessive;amount ofirot and decay at the root flare, age of tree and location, I recommend that this tree be removed as soon as possible. I recommend a 24" box Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) replacement tree be planted in the same location as the one removed. While I do understand the importance of replanting larger trees to sustain our urban forest, I believe in this instance a 24" box would be best. The area is not large_enough to use a 36" box because of paver stone driveway and wall on backside of tree. See Appendix B"below. The fence from Deep Cliff Golf Course is on the backside of the house, leaving no back yard. There is no other location on this property that is large enough to plant a 36" box tree. �����T����, ���L������ The tree canopy was inspected for the following structural defects that may contribute to failure: dead branches, previous failures, to�pa�g or head cuts, broken branches, c�c�o�a�uou�aa�� sge�s, and live crown ratio. I looked for symptoms of decay such as�►►oas�u�s, c�vi�oes, cracks, �a�ra�a9 c�s�9cs, ca�kers, �aeec�¢a�g and loose bark on both the stem and root collar, which indicate structural defects: �������� �� ����� ��eed��g: Flow of sap from plant wounds, injuries, or pathogen invasion. Ca�a�C��-: Localized diseased area on stems, roots and branches. Often shrunken and discolored. Cavigoes: Open or closed hollow within the tree stem, usually associated with decay. Co�Borrair�ant s�&ern: Forked branches nearly the same size in diameter, arising from a common juncfion and lacking a normal branch union: C�-i�ical Root Zorae: 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. �ias�ete�a� breas� he�gh� (D�&�): Measures at 1.4 meters (4.5 feet) above ground in United States. Fa�ra��I co�ks: Fruiting body or non fruiting body of a fungus. Often associated with decay. �'o�pa�g: Inappropriate pruning technique to reduce tree size. Cutting back a tree to a predetermined crown limit, often at internodes. ,.-� ` Larry VanGroningen-Bay Area Tree Specialists -408-679-7117 Mobile l ' ��, 408-836-9147 Office larry.bayareatreespecialists@gmail.com �r'.�,���.,�,�,��� 541 W.Capitol Expwy#287 San Jose, Ca 95136 4 Henry Huang Tree Assessment and Recommendations July 19, 2016 APPPENDIX A: SITE OVERVIEW SITE PLAN: EXISTING & REPLACEMENT TREE � � �., � = ��.� �==�..�— �`� ��"-�"���, � f ` � � ;���������� { �, ,� h � ��'s�, ` �� ��� �a , � � '+�=�',�,� ,a� �.,..�;..:-"�- . �' ��� l �� ��g ' � .
