Attention: Stephanie Willfey
Dear Ms. Willfey:
My name is Linda Cadogan and I am the Treasurer of the Valley Forge Homeowners
Association, 560 A. to 732 A. Millich Drive in Campbell.
The Valley Forge Home Owners Association has instructed Lewis Tree Service to
obtain a permit from the City for the purpose of removing the evergreen tree to the right
of the property located at 560 Millich. The reason we are asking for the removal is
because the tree is dying. The lower braches on the tree are completed dead. The
HOA is afraid of the risk and potential liability if the tree fell and hurt someone or
damaged property.
Since this tree is next to the Little League entrance, we would like to get this tree
removed as quickly as possible.
If you have any additional questions, I can be reached at work 408-888-6142 or at
home 408-379-8063.
Thank you,
Linda M. Cadogan

This evaluation was prepared to the best of our ability in accordance
with currently accepted standards of the International Society of
Arborculture. No warranty as to the contents of this evaluation is
intended, and none shall be inferred fi.om statements or opinions
expressed. Trees can and do fail without warning.
Species:
Size:
Average Canopy spread:
Monterey Pine
31" DBH (Diameter at Breast Height); 70' Tall
40' full crown
This tree is located approximately forty feet south of 560A Millich Drive in Campbell. The
general health and vigor is poor and considered to be in decline. Several large lower limbs on the
western side of the canopy are dead and a large amount of frass is visible around the base of the
tree trunk. Frass is evidence of a pine bark beetle known as the red turpentine beetle
(Dendroctonus valens).
One of the beetle species most commonly responsible for the rapid decline of individual Momerey
pines in this area is Dendroctonus valens, the red turpentine beetle. These beetles can attack a
wide variety of pine species, usually selecting weaker specimens. Although large enough
populations can and do kill otherwise healthy trees, they are usually attracted to trees that are
already stressed by other factors, such as those infected with pitch canker. The beetles leave a
conspicuous tube of resin that marks the location at which they burrowed into the tree. The tube
is normally reddish in color and appears s6mewhat wet when fresh, and fades to a crusty white
when older. Typically scattered below the these tubes is a coarse residue, or frass, produced as a
by product of the beetles during their activity. Red turpemine beetles are monogamous, and mated
couples emit pheromones attracting other beetles to the tree. When a few beetles locate a suitably
weak tree, it usually succumbs in a relatively short time to large-scale infestation.
In addition, the trunk and scaffold limbs have been colonized by sequoia pitch moths. Basically
this tree is dying. In time large limbs will begin to fail posing a significant hazard to automobiles
using the street and/or pedestrians using the walkway. Based on these findings it is my opinion
that this tree should be removed.
Should you have any questions, or ifI can be of further assistance, please feel free to call me at
(831) 476-1200.
