Case Manager
To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to address one (1) dead Xylosma congesta (shiny xylosma) located along the
perimeter of the property along McClellan Road on the 2 Results Way property in Cupertino,
California. Please see Exhibit 1.1 for the relative location of the subject tree indicated as a white/red
dot, and for the location of the replacement tree. The tree is dead and will need to be removed and
replaced.
The xylosma is 10-feet tall and multi -stemmed with four 4-inch diameter limbs.
The tree was determined to be dead (see Exhibit 1.2) due to its extensive brown foliage, complete
lack of green foliage, and brittle needles. A live evergreen tree, such as a shiny xylosma, should be
green throughout the year. Exhibit 1.3 was taken in April 2019 and illustrates the decline of the tree
was relatively quick. It is possible that the xylosma succumbed to shot hole borer as the species is
susceptible to this invasive pest.
Removal of a dead tree does not require a live tree removal permit prior to its removal pursuant to
Section 14.18.140 Paragraph B of the City of Cupertino's Municipal Code; however, a subsequent
application must be filed within five (5) working days. The tree will require replacement, selected
by the Apple arborist to ensure optimal structure, health, and no girdling roots. The selected tree will
then be trained from an early age as needed to optimize branching structure, extending the
aesthetically and structurally sound lifespan of the tree. The proposed replacement is one (1) 24-
inch box coast live oak in the same locations as the proposed removal.
Please review this information and contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the
information provided in this letter.
Sincerely,
Samuel Oakley
