Re: Cedar at front of house
Approval Date 08/30/21
I looked at the cedar and have the following observations and summary.
Signature Brianne Reyes
Observations Case Manager
The deodar cedar is located at the front of the property. The tree can be seen in the attached
photos.
Deodar cedar, Cedrus deodara
Diameter at Standard Height: 24.8"
Height: 40 feet
Canopy Spread: 30 feet by 30 feet
The deodar cedar in in poor health and condition. The canopy is thinning at the top and the trunk
is oozing sap from high up in the canopy. There are broken branches and dead limbs throughout
the canopy. The trunk is straight with no signs of disease or insect infestation. The root system is
invasive and has been responsible for many sewer back up issue. The sewer line is approximately
6 feet from the base of the tree at its closest point.
Summary
The tree is in poor health and condition. It is poorly located very close to the sewer. Oozing from
the trunk high up in the canopy is typically a sign of stress. The canopy is thinning and in poor
condition.
I would not recommend root pruning to prevent root disruption of the sewer as this would lead to
further decline and instability of the tree. I recommend that this tree be removed.
A replacement tree should not be located in a similar location to the existing tree because of
potential issues with the sewer. There are also many large trees at the rear of the property. I do
not think there is a suitable location for planting a replacement tree and an in-lieu fee should be
considered.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance,please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely
I p�fg
