� TERRACARE ASSOCIATES December 19, 2016 Mr. Christopher Inman Juniper Hotel Cupertino 10050 S. De Anza Blvd. Cupertino, CA 95014 Re: Pear and Italian Cypress Trees, 10050 S. De Anza Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014 Dear Mr. Inman, � At your request, I visited the above-referenced property to evaluate the health and structure of the Pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) and Italian Cypress trees (Cupressus sempervirens) located at the front of your property.Three photographs are attached to provide visual reference for the following discussion of the trees.The inspection was performed from the ground.There was no attempt to climb the tree nor excavate any soil. The five Pear trees each have a 10-inch diameter at breast height (DBH) and each is approximately 30 feet tall with a canopy spread of 30 feet.They are located in a median at the front of the property.There was a fifth Pear tree which reportedly failed during 2016.The prior existence of the tree can be confirmed by observation of the stump.The remaining four Pear trees are in various stages of decline due to bacterial blight.The potential targets should a limb, or a tree fail, includes passers-by and vehicles. The Juniper Hotel Cupertino was previously the Cypress Hotel. Four Italian Cypress were planted onsite to follow the original Cypress theme.These trees were supplemented with approximately 15 additional Italian Cypress trees which were planted in pots.The trees in the pots became root-bound and eventually declined. The name change to Juniper Hotel Cupertino came with an effort to move from the predominant Cypress theme. In addition,the four Italian Cypress trees have begun to outgrow their planting areas as they are half-way to their size at maturity. Each has an 8-inch DBH and each is approximately 30 feet tall with a canopy spread of six feet.Three of the trees are located in a planter adjacent to the hotel building entrance.The fourth tree is located in a planter across the driveway.The trees will grow to a mature height of 60 feet and canopy spread to 10 feet.The tree across the driveway has already outgrown it space by growing into the adjacent lamppost and canopy of the adjacent tree.This has become a safety concern. Based upon the findings and observations detailed above and provided in the attached pictures, I would recommend removal of the Pear and Italian Cypress trees and replace them with a more suitable species.
