landscape contractor.

To Whom It May Concern,
Approximately 18 months ago I had a landscape contractor I work with come out to look at the condition of my
Redwood Tree, 1 of 3 located at the rear of my property. At this time, there was evident browning foliage and
stripping of limbs from the trunk. It was recommended to prune the dying limbs in hope that new ones would
generate. Curing the pruning it was noted that the tree is internally diseased and will eventually need to be
removed, (possibly either fatal trunk canker or sudden oak death). It was recommended to increase water
during the summer months and add some nutrient rich soils to the area as well as ground cover/mulch at the
base to try ~jnd extend the trees life. Although I followed these instructions, the tree has continued to decline.
It is now evident that more than 60-70% of the limbs have either broken off and/or are browning. It has been
recommend that the tree be removed which will also hopefully allow a better chance of sustainability for his two
remaining redwoods.
