10260 Phar Lap Drive
Cupertino, CA 95014
I was asked by Mrs Chung to inspect and give my recommendations in regards to a Live
Oak tree located on her property at 10260 Phar Lap Drive in Cupertino. Included here are
my findings (including photos) and a site plan indicating the removal location and the
owners requested re-planting locations (if necessary).
This tree measures approximately 48” in circumference, approximately 15” in diameter
and 30’ high, it is in poor health. The tree is located on the left hand side of the home
within 2’ of the foundation (see photos).
This tree has a sever Basal Decay in the root flair and the main trunk. There is also severe
decay in the two main structural branches. This large amount of decay makes this tree an
imminent hazard for failure. This tree also has a TRAQ rating of High Probability of
Failure.
I recommend immediate removal before failure and property damage occurs. Please note
this property has a great many trees already and has a PG&E easement on one side that
has required prior clearing and removals by PG&E. Hopefully this can be taken into
consideration with the replanting requirements.
