To Whom It May Concern:
This is a report concerning a Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak) at the above address.
The tree is located at the back right of the property growing against the fence and
hanging over the neighbors property. The tree is also under utility lines and is much
too big for the confined space it is in. It is approximately 45 feet in height with a D.B.H.
(Diameter at breast height) of approximately 40 inches. The tree splits into two main
trunks at about 12 feet off the ground, There is a noticeable inclusion at the fork which
is a high risk Structural defect. The tree is also shows cankers and bleeding along the
entire circumference of the tree. This is indicative of Sudden Oak Death Syndrome.
There is noticeable beetle frass from exit wounds and the tree will be in decline soon.
There is a heritage oak that is healthy and within 30 feet or less of this infected tree.
Due to the structure and disease of this tree-, and the proximity of this tree to the
healthy oak: It is my professional opinion that this tree be removed as soon as
possible to prevent damage to property and or spread of Sudden oak death.
Sincerely,
AWnbertsgn
