A • PL� L1 � GROW YOUR FOREST IN THE CLOUD Arborist Report for 10159 South Blaney & 20800 Homestead Rd Prepared on 09/02/2016 Prepared by Sarah Gaskin ISA Certified Arborist WE-9519A 1900 Bates Ave.Suite L Concord,CA 94520 (866)815-2525 sarahC�aplustr��.c�rrr www.aplustree.com Background I, Sarah Gaskin, ISA Certified Arborist with A Plus, have been the managing Arborist for Prometheus Real Estate Group's owned and managed properties since 2012. Over the course of Information my assignment, I have been managing the properties with an overall view of their urban forest health as a whole. Not only are species diversity and age diversity important factors, but also long-term planning in terms of future growth, liability and sustainable practices with the current species population. Keeping this is in mind,the Red Ironbark Eucalyptus(Eucalyptus sideroxylon) is one species I've been working to phase out from their landscape since 2012 due to the hazardous nature and poor structure of that particular species. This report is concerning thirteen (13) Red Ironbark Eucalyptus trees located at 10159 South Blaney, (also known as The Biltmore) and six (6) Red Ironbark Eucalyptus trees located at 20800 Homestead Rd (also known as Markham). There have been several limb failures in these trees in past and recent years, evident from tear-outs and that can be seen in their canopies. Prometheus is seeking to obtain a tree removal permits these trees with the intention to replace them on a 2:1 ratio with a several species that are more suitable for the site. Assignment The assignment is to identify the Red Ironbark Eucalyptus trees to be removed from 2 properties owned by Prometheus located at 10159 South Blaney and 20800 Homestead Rd,to provide (and any reason for removal, and to provide a removal and a replacement plan in conjunction with the limiting city tree ordinance with the purpose to obtain permit for removal. factors) Factors are limited only to the Red Ironbark Eucalyptus trees in this report. This is a visual inspection from ground grade only. 1 Thirteen (13)Trees located at 10159 South Blaney,The Biltmore: Observations S I, i��ri�aw��;���Y� � �ra�u��rorr������ �:,...:,,,." „ �a�, ,,,,,, r�nruri��a�n�a��s�,l`�r���4���1i���au�; ,�k���rrr� ,�i�w��a�r��������rw�% ��r�m��?�5d,ira�� �`��a�r��r�iu����w� , ���, ! ��r Y � � � �� ' Fi�tl i�aerl��rk � �uu:�fypaa�� 1".� �4� hNav�yar Cv'Hrvkqe� Cv��vke�+a biBr��a �4 �ax �. i ��` Gd ' Eud:dl�p¢�us sici�aaxp�lon i i � 'PAa�y+�r � i �; I %� I I I I I I I I ""� �„�; I I I I I I I I '.Il/;:m, i i i i i i i ......... .. .�J � ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ;"x�. ...... ....

Testing and Analysis There were no soil,tree or other physical testings. 4 Discussion All nineteen (19)trees listed in the tables above have multiple leaders and poor structure. Suckers have become large branches whose attachments are significantly weaker. Limb failures have occurred on several of these trees already. Future limb failures are probable. This species of tree is not only an undesirable species to have in an urban forest community, but they are common to limb breakage and failures. The 13 trees located at Biltmore, and the 6 trees located at Markha all have very poor structure, multiple leaders and weak attachments.The multiple leaders have V-shaped angles at the crotch with signs of included bark, which areas are also significantly weaker than if the co-dominants had a U-shaped crotch. The included bark at the crotch is a significant point of structural weakness and acts as a wedge and force the branch union to split apart. The target of these trees are high: in a populated community and adjacent to buildings, walkways and parking lots. Recommenda tIOnS The recommendation is that these nineteen (19)trees be removed from the landscape, especially before the winter season, and be replaced with thirty-eight (38) 24" box trees in the same or nearby locations. Species recommendations for the site, need and space are listed in the table above. Locations of the removal and replacement locations are in the Attachments I-II below. 5 Attachments Attachment I Ren7av�l Loe�ti�an, Md�J Of PEY1lOVd�dllC� ^r�rarara emram ,.,,,,,.,,,�,a, , �"� replacement ��A�� s��na � ..� Fr�u,wuu; ..... ..... ��,��� i�wfai�u�:u� wx��r�u locations of trees �,, „ , ���, �� ��� , �„�,�� located at: ' �q�������� �� � ` ���� �� � ���n��,u rv�����i � i��� � 10159 South j��K��u� "���' ,r��,��� ��,r,� ���,� B�a112�/ � 1�' uKurr�q�u� ww�r��yiou I 1� ruawir�i� � 12 ,,:,,; ; �i I " f � " ���; . . f.'� '�M7NN1�. ;Prd4p��,� ,. , WimJri�41Wu . .
