ARBORIST REPORT
ARBORIST NOTES
I, Richard Smith, Certified Arborist No. WE -8745A and Certified Tree Risk Assessor
No. 589 was called out on January 11th, 2018 to give recommendations for one Coast
Live Oak Tree located at the address above.
This tree has a major lean toward Stevens Creek Blvd. I also found a large decay
pocket near the trunk of the tree and fruiting bodies which is a sign of internal decay.
Due to high traffic area and high risk for failure I recommend this tree be removed
immediately. If this tree were to fail it could cause significant damage to property,
pedestrians and/or cars on the road way. There is no treatment or pruning that can make
this tree safe and health.
See attached pictures for proof of findings.
Replant one 36" box Coast Live Oak per city specs in the same location.
