One 24-inch box Canary Island Pine, one 24-inch box Black Tea Tree, and one 24-inch box Deodar Cedar tree must be planted on the property. The trees must be installed on or before February 14, 2002 (if no appeals are filed). The Tree Removal Permit has been approved based upon the City's determination, with a supporting recommendation by a Certified Arborist, that the trees are irreparably diseased and/or present a danger of falling. Staff has determined that the situation cannot be reasonably remedied by means other than removal. The request tbr removal of the Silver Dollar Gum tree no. 58 has been denied by the Community Development Department because there is not substantial evidence that the tree can potentially cause substantial damage to existing residential building or interfere with utility services and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification of the structure or utility services. ; This approval is final in 10 days, unless a written appeal letter and the current appeal tee are received by the City of Campbell City Clerk's Office, 70 N. First Street, Campbell, on or before Monda¥~ Janua~ 14~ 2002. The trees ma',/ not be removed until after the 10-day appeal period has passed and no appeals have been received. A t notice of the tree removals will be posted on the trees and will also be sent out to all the property owners within 300 feet of the property.

I have also resubmitted information on two trees (#$$ & 56, both Eucalyptus) that I evaluated and reported on in my June 6, 2001 letter. Trees #55 & 56 have not been removed but you still would like to remove them. Please refer to the attached Site Map for the locations of all the trees mentioned in this report. I evaluated these trees today after our meeting at the site this morning. My methodology and descriptions are the same as in my previous reports for this complex: June 6, May 23, March 15 and January 24, 2001. Tree no.: 55 (Ori.qinally evaluated 6/1/011. Botanical name: Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Common name: Red River gum. Localion: Northeast side of building A. Trunk diameter: 20.9 in. Size (height x canopy spread): ~50x21 ft. Tree Ranking: Species: 3_0_0, Condiffon: (vigor 45+ structure 70/2)= 5._~_8, Locaffon: (site 60, contribution 40, placement 70/3)=5_Z7. Ranking (average of 3 factors) = 48. Hazard raling: Moderate/severe. Aclion: Remove. Reason for aclion: Poor structural condition. General Notes on tree: This large tree has awkward structure and it planted too close to a building. Several scaffold branches~ have been headed2 back to long stubs that have subsequently died. Past branch failures from the mid to upper canopy are also evident. Past severe pruning is probably the result of trying to make this large tree "smaller", because it is so close to the building. Unfortunately this size-reduction pruning began too late in the tree's life, resulting in large pruning cuts and a compromised tree structure. 12/5/01 Update: Not much has changed with this tree, except that it has put on 4 to 5 feet of new growth. I still recommend removal. The area around the tree has also been relandscaped. A possible replacement tree for this location: Canary island pine, Pinus ~ A scaffold branch is a primary structural branch adsing from the trunk of a tree. 2 Heading cuts: pruning cuts that cut a limb back to buds, stubs, or laterals not large enaugh to assume the terminal role. Synonyms: stub cuts, topping cuts. Not a recommended pruning practice, and one that can result in hazardous conditions. P.O.

This is probably another case of trying to make a large tree "smaller". 3 Epicormics: secondary, upright vegetative shoots arising from just beneath the bark of the trunk or branches of a plant. Aisc called watersprouts. They are usually weakly attached because they are not anchored deeply inside the parent member, as are branches of normal growth.

Deborah Ellis, MS Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist 12/5/01 Update: New landscaping has occurred around this tree, but other than that there are no major changes with the tree or with my recommendation to remove it. A possible replacement tree for this location (the shrub I recommended before was not accepted) is: Melaleuca styphelloides, black tea tree. Tree no.: 58. Botanical name: Eucalyptus polyanthemos. Common name: silver dollar gum. Trunk diameter: 20.8 in. Size (height x canopy spread): ~45x36 ft. Tree Ranking: Spec/es: 7__0.0, Condition: (vigor 80+ structure 80/2)= 80. Location: (site 80, contribution 80, placement 50/3)=70. IJanklng (average of 3 factors) = 7._~3. Hazard rating: Low/moderate. Action: Save. Reason for action: A nice-looking, large tree that has not been topped or overpruned; structure is good. Work to be done: Remove dead branches, clear all branches within 4 feet of roof of building, and general crown cleanin.q". Annual evaluation for future crown cleaning is advised. Adjust sprinkler spray so that it does not hit the trunk of the tree, or preferably within 3 feet of the trunk of the tree. Try to limit irrigation frequency to once or twice per week in the summer - preferably once. Work priority: Moderate. General Notes on tree: The photo of this tree at left was taken on December 5, 2001. This Eucalyptus was proposed for removal because it is large and overhangs the roofs of buildings A & C, and there is fear that branch failures may damage the building. I do not think the tree should be removed. Unlike most Eucalyptus trees at this complex, tree #58 has not been topped or otherwise overpruned. Therefore this tree has relatively good structure for a silver dollar gum. The branches that overhang the roof are fairly small in diameter-less than 6 inches, and I doubt that they would damage the roof if they fell on it. The trunk of the tree leans about 18 degrees toward the west, but the lean is natural and toward the direction of the greatest amount of light given the surrounding tall buildings. There are a few small dead branches in the tree, and some stubs from past branch failures, but these are 3 inches or less in diameter. One exception is that a 6-inch diameter branch failed out of the west portion of the tree at some point in the past. The main trunk of the tree does fork into two upright scaffolds, but decline- the tree is trying to make up for the excessive loss of food-manufacturing tissue from excessive pruning, disease or insect infestation. 4 (~rown cleanina Drunina: a type of pruning that removes dead, dying, diseased, crossing, rubbing, hazardous branches and excessive watersprouts from a tree.

Deborah Ellis, MS Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist the union between these scaffolds is fairly wide and does not seem to have obvious included bark5. The upright orientation of these scaffolds is due to the shaded area in the lower half of the tree. Although I cannot promise you that branches will never fall out of this tree, this Eucalyptus is certainly of much better structure and overall health than most of the other Eucalyptus I have seen on this property. I think that there are probably many other trees (particularly olives) that it would make more sense to remove now before I would think about removing Eucalyptus #$8. Tree no.: 59. Botanical name: Pinus radiata. Common name: Monterey pine. Trunk diameter: 20.2 in. Size (height x canopy spread): ~60x30 ft. Tree Ranking: Species: 30, Condition: (vigor 50+ structure 60/2)= 55. Location: (site 80, contribution 70, placement 50/3)=67. Ranking (average of 3 factors) = 5__1_1. Hazard rating: Low/moderate. Action: Debatable. Reason for action: heavily attacked by red turpentine bark beetles6. Inspect further: Have me check tree again next April if it remains. Work to be done: Remove tree, or remove dead branches and re- evaluate tree again next April. Remove dead branches from all Monterey pines in this planting area. The best time to do this pruning is now through January. Whether this tree remains or is removed, spray all Monterey pines in this area for bark beetles in February as directed on the following page. Adjust sprinkler spray so that it does not hit the trunk of the tree, or preferably within 3 feet of the trunk of the tree. Try to limit irrigation 5 included bark is bark sandwiched between adjacent branches or a branch and the trunk, often appearing as a seam. In contrast, a normal attachment will have a ridge of bark protruding upwards and a continuous wood connection between adjacent members. As limbs with included bark grow, they expand in diameter, squeezing the bark along the seam. This may kill some portion of the included bark. When this occurs, a wound response is initiated. As a consequence, cracks can be generated, leading to breakage. Oftentimes included bark does not result in a failure, but it is a weak point in the tree. If the tree is already weakened, it may be more likely to fail at that point. If there is a pointed bulge around the included bark, or a definite crack in this area this may indicate an internal crack that is propagating, and the included bark would then be of more concern. 6 Red turpentine beetle (RTB) is a type of bark beetle. The RTB commonly attacks the Power 8 feet of trunk of Monterey pine. The attacked pine then emits chemicals that attract a more serious type of beetle, the Ips beetle, to the upper canopy. The Ips beetle is usually the insect that kills the tree. If the tree has enough vigor, it will produce a resinous sap that may serve to "flush out" the beetles. If there is not enough vigor to produce resin in reaction to a beetle attack, dry frass (sawdust-like material) will be excavated by the adult beetle. When frass is visible, the tree is usually beyond saving. Bark beetles usually attack trees that have been weakened from some sort of stress or injury, particularly drought stress or root damage. Another possibility not involving stress or injury is that there is a very high population of bark beetles in the vicinity, and they are able to overwhelm a healthy tree lust by their sheer numbers. The first scenario however, is the most common. Therefore the beetles are a secondary problem, not the primary or main problem. The beetles serve to "finish off" the weak tree and serve as scavengers. P.O.

Deborah Ellis, MS Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist frequency to once or Nvice per week in the summer - preferably once. Work priorily: High. General Notes on tree: The photo of this tree on the previous page was taken on December 5, 2001. Several lower branches, up to 8-inch diameter on this tree are dead, but the rest of the tree above these dead branches is alive. I counted 26 red turpentine beetle stdkes on the lower 3 feet of trunk, which means that this tree is being aggressively attacked by this beetle, and the tree may not survive. I looked into the upper canopy of the tree and was not able to see any evidence of Ips beetle, but the trees in this area are quite dense and I was not able to get a clear view. There is no method of killing bark beetles inside the tree once they are inside, which is the case now. You must wait until the adult beetles emerge in the spring to fly to other trees. The new landscaping in this area is a change for these trees, and even though it may seem to be a better environment now for Monterey pine; large old trees are often not able to adapt to such a change. Tree #$9 and possibly the other Monterey pines in this area have probably been weakened at least somewhat, and so are attractive to bark beetles. All of the Monterey pines in this area between buildings K & L have between 1 and 3 RTB strikes on their lower trunk. Why pine #59 has so many strikes I cannot explain. Perhaps it experienced more root damage than the other pines. Pine #59 does not have excellent structure either- it has a fork in its main trunk with upright scaffold branches fairly close together and at least some included bark between them. All the Monterey pines in this planting area also are infested with another insect, Sequoia pitch moth (SPM). This other insect is no reason to remove any of these trees, but the symptoms it causes are often confused with bark beetles. Information and a photograph of the pitch masses caused by this insect are included on the next page. Additional recommendations on the management of the Monterey pines to prevent bark beetle attack in this planting area are provided in the box below: 1. Avoid unnecessary pruning. Remove only dead branches (an exception would be broken or otherwise hazardous branches). Prune Monterey pines December through January to avoid attracting adult bark beetles to the trees. 2. Protective Insecticidal band sprays should be applied to the trunk before adult lied Turpentine beetles (the first phase of bark beetle attack} fly to land on trees and lay eggs. Do this in February with the product, DragnetTM and spray the lower 8 feet of trunk, saturating it thoroughly by spraying it in both directions. Apply the spray in February of 2002, and re-evaluate the trees during the summer of that year to decide if the insecticide should be reapplied in February 2003. 3. Less desirably, inse ' may be e entire tree for the more destructive and often lethal/ps bee s a er canopy of the tree. No spray will kill beetle I ' icals. 4. The best protection against bark beetles however, is keeping trees in good vigor. Bark beetles tend to attack and overcome weakened trees. 5 P.O.

Deborah Ellis, MS Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist Tn the left photo the blue pen points to a f~esh strike (a pitch tube) of ~xl turpentine beetle on Monterey pine #59. The right photo shows another Monterey pine in this planting area with sequoia pitch moth strikes (blue arrows point to pitch masses). This insect seems to be a particular problem on Monterey pines in the San Francisco Bay Area. The larvae of the insect bore a short distance into the wood of the tree, making a small cavity. Resin then leaks out of these wounds. The damage the insect causes is primarily cosmetic (sap blobs), and sometimes a nuisance (dripping sap). Chemical control attempts have not been successful. When practical, pitch masses can be scraped off with a knife, and the larvae beneath can be killed. The moth stage of the insect is particularly attracted to pruning wounds, and likes to lay eggs there. The best control therefore is minimizing wounds, particularly pruning wounds, and restricting pruning from mid-October through ~Tanuary. I hope that this information will be helpful to you.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist SUMMARY Please refer to the enclosed Tree MaD on page 6 for the location of the numbered trees discussed in this report. The La Valencia Apartments would like to remove 48 trees at their complex. · 12 of the 48 trees are "protected" trees~ · 2 of the "protected" trees are. dead · 1 of the 48 trees is a City Street tree of less than protected size, but since it is a City street tree I am combining it with the "protected trees". The protected trees requested for removal are listed below: #6 European olive, Olea europaea #8 American sweet gum, Liquidambar styraciflua #9 American sweet gum, Liquidambar styraciflua #13 European olive, Olea europaea #22 Monterey pine, Pinus radiata #25 European olive, Olea europaea #)7 Japanese black pine, Pinus fhunbergiana #28 European olive, Olea europaea #31 Ash, Fraxinus species #32 European olive, Olea europaea #4~ Camphor tree, Cinnamomum camphora (Dead) #46 southern magnolia, Magnolia grandiflora (Dead) #47 maidenhair tree, Ginkgo biloba (City Street tree, 6-inch trunk diameter) The La Valencia Apartments have and are undergoing major plumbing replacement. This has resulted in a great deal of trenching in the landscape areas, including around many of the trees that are requested for removal. The areas that have been disturbed by trenching are being relandscaped. Areas where the new landscaping has been completed are much more attractive than the previous landscaping. New trees to replace many of the trees that will be removed are part of the relandscaping effort. Most of the trees requested for removal are significantly problematic in some respect. Many of these trees are olives that ~ A "Protected Tree" in the City of Campbell is a tree with any tree with a trunk diameter of 12 inches or greater (measured at 4 feet above the ground), excepting Eucalyptus trees and "fruit" trees. Since European olives are considered an ornamental landscape tree species in this area, I have included them as "protected" if their size warrants. Whether or not the City of Campbell wishes to consider such olives as "protected" is at their discretion. For multi-trunk trees, a protected tree has at least one stem that is 12 inches or greater in diameter. The following genera are considered "protected" at trunk diameters of 8 inches or greater: Quercus (oaks), Sequoia (redwoods), Cedrus (cedarsl and Fraxinus (ashl. 1 P.O.

Still other trees have massive surface roots that have ruined lawn areas. Each of the 48 trees planned for removal (including the 13 protected trees La Valencia is requesting City permission to remove) are described in detail in the Complete Tree Table, located in the Appendix section of this report on page 21. A summary of the trees is contained in the Summary Tree Table on page 16. INTRODUCTION SCOPE OF SERVICES My assianment is to identify and describe the condition of existing trees planned for removal by the La Valencia Apartment complex. "Protected" trees are described in detail, photographed and assigned a monetary value. The intended audience of this report is EnviroScapes (landscape maintenance contractor for the apartment complex, and City of Campbell officials concerned with tree removals and tree preservation. The purpose of this report is to obtain permission for the removal of "protected" dead and/or problematic trees at the complex, although all trees (protected and non-protected) are listed in this report. The .qoal of report is to improve the overall landscaping, safety and cleanliness of the La Valencia Apartments. LIMITS OF SCOPE AND INVESTIGATION: 1. The subject 48 trees on site were inspected on January 22, 2001, and their condition as stated in this report reflects that date. No other trees or plants on site were inspected. 2. Tree inspections were brief, by ground and without root collar excavations2 or other probing or boring done upon trees. 3. Tree locations were provided by EnviroScapes and are shown on the Tree Map on page 6. Locations are assumed to be accurate but should be verified in the field. I have not seen any plans, details or specifications for this project except for this map. 4. Please note that trees may suddenly or eventually decline, fail, or die, for a number of reasons. Because there may be hidden defects within the root system, trunk or branches of trees, it is possible that trees with no obvious defects can be subject to failure without warning. It is impossible to guarantee the safety of any tree. 2 A root collar excavation is the removal of soil below grade (or excess soil above the natural grade) at the root collar to determine the health of tissue in this area. This is done to assess anchorage and stability of the tree. Any problems in this area can translate to whole tree health, as well as stability. P.O.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborlst & Horticulturist BACKGROUND Steve Baca of EnviroScapes called me in early January 2001 and asked me to prepare this report. The issue of tree removals at the La Valencia Apartments began' in May of 2001. Due to various reasons, City permits for tree removals were delayed and a more detailed Arborist Report was requested. Most of the tree removals planned at this complex are due to the following primary reasons: Dead trees Fruit drop, staining of sidewalks, and resultant staining of carpets by olive trees Surface root disruption of lawn areas Clogging of drains, causing flooding conditions in the parking lot (London plane trees, Platanus acerifolia) Poor tree structure or health INVESTIGATION METHODS The subject trees were examined for structural condition (stability) and general health (vigor) by visual assessment from the ground. Tree characteristics such as form, weight distribution, foliage color and density, wounds and indicators of decay were noted. Surrounding site conditions were also observed. Evaluation procedures were taken from: · Gt~ide for Plant Appraisal, 9th edition, 2000, authored by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) and published by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). · Species Classification and Group Assiqnmenf published by the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (WCISA), 1992. · Tree Hazard Evaluation Form taken from Evaluation of Hazard Trees in Urban Areas, 2nd Ed., Matheny & Clark, International Society of Arboriculture, 1994. The above three references serve as industry professional standards for tree and landscape evaluations. OBSERVATIONS SITE CONDITIONS The site is a moderately maintained landscape at a large residential apartment complex. The landscaping is undergoing significant upgrading in several areas due to recent damage by underground plumbing pipe replacement. The apartment buildings are 2-story and are arranged in large blocks. This complex was probably built in the 1960's, judging be the type and appearance of many of the plants on site. In many cases trees are planted too close to the buildings (within 2 to 3 feet), as is P.O.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborlst & Horticulturist commonly done when complexes such os this are first built. As the trees hove matured, the problems associated with many of them hove increased and it is prudent to remove them. Most of the landscaped areas appear to be irrigated by underground sprinklers. Sun exposure for trees ranges from full to partially shaded, depending upon proximity to buildings and adjacent trees. The soil at the complex is clay-based and compacted in many areas. This is evidenced by large and widespread surface roots from trees in many of the lawn areas. The landscape at this complex is maintained by EnviroScapes, a commercial landscape maintenance contracting company. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT TREES A complete description of each of the 48 trees can be found in the Complete Tree Table on page 21 of the Appendix. A summary list of the trees is contained in the Summary Tree Table on page 16. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS I agree with most of the decisions to remove the trees listed in this repod. The areas that have been recently relandscaped are a huge improvement over the previous landscaping. Making new trees a part of the relandscaping will greatly improve the aesthetic and functional qualities of this complex. Not repeating previous mistakes (such as planting trees too close to buildings) will improve the landscape as well. Caution will have to be taken in relandscaping around existing trees however, as a radical change in a mature tree's environment can cause the tree to decline and die. Examples of this can be found with trees #45 camphor and #46 magnolia, which have died and are listed for removal. RECOMMENDATIONS 1 ) Remove trees as listed in the report. 2) Grind the stumps of removed trees to at least 12 inches below the ground surface, if this is possible. Remove and/or grind out as many of the large roots as possible, as old roots in the soil can harbor pathogens that can cause diseases in other plants, including trees. 3) Do not plant trees close to buildings or pavement. For buildings, try not to plant trees closer to buildings than the expected canopy spread radius of the tree. For pavement, try not to plant closer than 6 feet. It is also best to not plant trees in "parkstrip" areas less than 8 feet in width. 4) Match new tree (and plant) soil, water and exposure requirements with the existing site conditions. For example, do not plant drought tolerant trees in areas where there will be frequent irrigation. A good resource for researching plant compatibilifies in terms of water requirements is: Costello et al. Univ. of Calif. Cooperative Extension Service. Rev. 1999. W.U.C.O.L.S. (Water Use Classification of Landscape Species - a Guide to the Water Needs of Landscape Plants).

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborlst & Horticulturist 5) 6) ~ ~ 1984 a) Related to the above, crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) has a LOW water requirement, so it would not do well in a frequently irrigated area. In lesser-irrigated areas of your complex, this tree may be appropriate. It is best to not plant trees in lawns. If you must do this however, keeP the turf at least a 3 to 4-foot radius away from the trunk of trees. Fill the turf-free area with a 3 to 4-inch depth of organic mulch such as coarse wood chips, keeping the mulch 6 to 12 inches away from the root collar. a) Related to the above, the best groundcover beneath the dripline of existing trees is organic mulch. As you plan and implement your relandscaping, it is very Important to understand that mature trees often do not adapt well to a radical change in their environment. Such a change can cause these trees to decline and eventually die - often over a period of many years. I believe that this is what happened to camphor tree #45 and magnolia #46. The camphor tree had visible infection of Armillarla (oak root fungus)3, which is a common problem when areas are relandscaped around older trees, and especially if the irrigation becomes more frequent. Rototilling around existing trees (for example for new lawn installation) is very damaging to tree roots as well, even if the cultivation is relatively shallow (12 inches or less). Most of the active roots of trees are in the upper 12 inches of soil. a) Related to the above, you may wish to consult with me on designing and relandscaping around existing trees. There are methods to reduce damage to roots and reduce the overall environmental change around trees. This also applies to any operation that disturbs the soil (such as trenching for plumbing). I hope that this information will be helpful to you. Thank you for the oppodunity fo provide service. Please call me if you have questions or if I can be of fudher assistance. Deborah Ellis, MS. Consulting Arbodst & Hodicultudst W.C.I.$.A. Certified Arborist #457, ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist#305, ACFE # 14370 3 Arm#laria mellea (oak root fungus) is a native fungus present on the roots of many tree species and most native oaks, usually living as a saprophyte and not causing much damage. When a woody plant is weakened and environmental conditions favor growth of the fungus (padicularly wet soil during our dry months), the fungus can become aggressively parasitic, decimating woody tissue. White strands or plaque between the bark & wood is diagnostic for this fungus. In advanced cases the whitish growth can be seen at the root collar and lower trunk. As more tissue is lost the plant may decline and/or die. P.O. Box 3714, Saratoga, CA 95070-1714 · (408) 725-1357 Voice & Fax La Valencia Apartment? questea tree removals. D. Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist GLOSSARY 1. Buttress roots (also called anchor roots, support roots) are the large roots that radiate 2. Canker: an area of dead bark. A localized lesion on a stem or branch, often sunken in appearance and commonly associated with a wound, decay or death of internal tissues. Cankers often extend beyond the extent of an original infection or wound, killing surrounding previously healthy tissue. 3. Co-dominant refers to two leaders, branch or trunks that arise at the same point on a tree and are about the same size. This is an undesirable structural defect that could be a weak point in the tree. It is best that branches or trunks originate with space between them, or if they arise at the same point that they be of different sizes. Co-dominant leaders can often be corrected (one leader removed) when trees are young. When trees are older it is often better to thin foliage of the less desirable leader by 25% to slow its growth and size relative to the other stem. 4. A conk is the fruiting body (reproductive structure) of a wood decay fungus. It usually assumes a "shelf-like" orientation when growing from the side of a trunk or branch. On top of roots, conks often assume a flat or "tabletop" shape. Conks are often a sign that extensive decay has already occurred within the wood. 5. Crown-raising pruning is the removal of lower branches from a tree, in order to increase clearance or visibility beneath the tree. Also called "skirting" or "raising the skirt". 6. Crown restoration pruning is a method of restoring the natural growth habit of a tree that has been topped. The tree is never perfectly restored however, and it is best not to top in the first place. This is padicularly true for trees such as Eucalyptus globuius, which are prone fo branch failures in any case. In addition, crown restoration after topping is not a one-time job. If requires repeated and frequent lat least yeady for several years) pruning of the regrowth resulting from topping cuts. This will be more expensive in the long term than correctly pruning the tree in the first place. Weft-placed cuts as in directional or natural target pruning tends to produce less regrowth around those cuts. The bottom line is, the tree will require less and less frequent pruning if if is done correctly. 7. Directional pruning for overhead utility line clearance means that only the branches directly interfering with the wires are removed. Branches cut back to the trunk or to lateral branches at least 1/3 the diameter of the parent branch. This is in contrast to topping. 8. Ppicormic$: secondary, upright vegetative shoots arising from just beneath the bark of the trunk or branches of a plant. Also called watersprouts. They are usually weakly attached because they are not anchored deeply inside the parent member, as are branches of normal growth. Excessive epicormics can be a symptom of tree decline - the tree is trying fo make up for the excessive loss of food-manufacturing tissue from excessive pruning, disease or insect infestation. 9. Girdling roots encircle the trunk of the tree at or close to the ground, and may inhibit the flow of water and nutrients by "choking" vascular elements in the trunk or other roofs. 10. Grove: is a group of trees that located close together that shelter each other from wind and the elements, having "knit" canopies. If of the same species, there is usually root P.O.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist ~ ~ 1984 grafting between trees, which lends support from the ground, os well os water and mineral shoring. Removal of one or some grove members could cause remaining members to be unstable due to a reduction of previous shelter. Grove trees often hove asymmetrical canopies when viewed os individuals. 11. Heading cuts: pruning cuts that cut a limb back to buds, stubs, or laterals not large enough to assume-the terminal role. Synonyms: stub cuts, topping cuts. Not a recommended pruning practice, and one that can result in hazardous conditions. 12. Included bark is bark sandwiched between adjacent branches, a branch and the trunk, or two or more trunks, often appearing as a seam. In contrast, a normal attachment will have a ridge of bark protruding upwards and a continuous wood connection between adjacent members. As limbs with included bark grow, they expand in diameter, squeezing the bark along the seam. This may kill some portion of the included bark. When this occurs, a wound response is initiated. As a consequence, cracks can be generated, leading to breakage. Such defects can often be completely removed when a tree is young (e.g. the offending members equal or less than 2 inches in diameter). Older, larger cuts (such as 6 inches in diameter or more) could cause decay to spread into the remaining member, which is undesirable. In these cases it may be best to thin one member (usually the smaller member) by 25% to slow its growth and size. 13. Leader: the primary terminal shoot or trunk of a tree. 14. Lion-tail pruning means that the lower portion of the branch was stripped, leaving the majority of weight concentrated at the end of the branch. A branch pruned as such is "end-heavy" and more likely to fail. This is not desirable in terms of encouraging proper branch taper and managing end weight. 15. Multiple trunk (leaders) or branch attachments are a common structural defect in many tree species such as ash and flowering pear. In this condition, more than one branch or trunk originates at the same point. These attachments are not as strong as well-spaced branches or trunks, padicularly if included bark between them prevents a solid wood connection. 16. Scaffold branch: a primary structural branch arising from the trunk of a tree. 17. Stub: a short length of branch remaining following pruning, versus the more correct method of cutting a branch back to just beyond the branch collar. Leaving stubs in trees is generally a poor practice. 18. Thinning pruning is the selective removal of unwanted branches to improve air penetration through the canopy of a tree), or to lighten the weight of branches. Often done to decrease the wind resistance (wind sail) of a large tree. 19. Topping is the practice of indiscriminately cutting back large diameter branches of a mature tree some predetermined lower height, or to buds, stubs or lateral branches not large enough to assume the terminal role. Reputable arborists no longer recommend topping because it is a padicularly destructive pruning practice. It is stressful to mature trees and may result in reduced vigor, decline and even death of trees. In addition, branches that regrow from topping cuts are weakly attached to the tree and are in danger of splitting out. 13 P.O.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborist & Horticulturist ~.~ ~ 1964 EXPLANATION OF TREE TABLES All subject 48 trees are numbered and listed in the Summary and Complete Tree Tables beginning on page 16, along with their type (genus & species), common name, trunk diameter and disposition (Action). The trees have also been numerically tagged in the field to correlate with the Tree MoD. Only "protected" trees are described in detail in the (;omplete Tree Table, os explained further below. An asterisk after the tree number (example 45*) indicates that the tree is dead. Trunk diameter (was measured at 4 feet above ground level, as required by the City of Campbell. In some cases where I could not reach all the way around the trunk (for example due to obstruction by fences or debris), the trunk diameter was estimated. Tree size (height x canopy width in feet) is approximate and meant for comparison purposes only. Sp. Rtg. (species rating). Trees in the Western section of the United States have been rated by a group of professionals in terms of hardiness, aesthetics, function, problems, etc. Ratings are expressed on a scale from 10 to 100, with 100 being excellent and 10 being unacceptable. Rating information is taken from the text, Species Classification and Group Assianment, 1992. Editor: Chandler, AZ, published by the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. These species ratings were developed for landscape situations, not orchard or crop growing situations. Fruit trees because of their nature, do not usually fare as well in landscapes, so generally have lower species ratings although they may be quite valuable as orchard trees. Olive trees however, are also used as ornamental trees (as at this complex) and they have a high species rating in this geographical area. Cdtn. Rtg, (tree condition rating): 20 = unacceptable, 40 = poor, 60 = fair, 80 = good, 100 = excellent. Both vigor (health) and structure (stability) are rated and then averaged to give the final condition rating. For example, 70/80=75 means that health/vigor is rated at 70, structure is rated at 80 and the average of these Js 75. Tree condition ratings follow the guidelines of the guide for Plant Appraisal. The condition rating can be used to in calculating a monetary value for individual trees as well. For the purpose of this report however, condition ratings are intended only for comparison and for use as an aid in the planning process. The condition rating Js given for the existing tree in its existing condition at the time of evaluation. Location rating is the average of 3 sub factors: site, contribution and placement. Guidelines for ratings are taken from the Guide for Plant Appraisal. Deb's Tree Rating is the average of Species, Condition and Location ratings, and is meant for comparison purposes only. 14 P.O.

Ellis, 1/24/01 Deborah Ellis, ASCA Consulting Arborlst & Horticulturist ~ ~ 1964 The Haz. Rtg. (hazard rating) is estimated at the time of inspection for the existing trees on site, on o scale Iow to severe. Low/Moderate and Moderate/Severe ore intermediate ratings. Value: Trees were assigned monetary values as per the guidelines of the industry standard appraisal text, Guide for Plant Appraisal (9th edition, International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), 2000. Size, Species, condition and location ratings are used to obtain the tree values provided in this report, as per the Guide and as described previously. The size of the tree is determined according to trunk diameter, which is usually measured at 4.5 feet above the ground (according to the Guide), but was measured at 4 feet above the ground (as requested by the City of Campbell). In most cases this will give a slightly higher value than if the trunk diameter had been measured at 4.5 feet. The species rating is obtained from the regionally specific publication, Species Classification and Group Assianment, (Western Chapter ISA, 1992). The condition and location ratings are obtained as described previously, as per the procedures of the ~uide. Tree value is estimated for the existing tree in ifs existing condition at the time of evaluation. The type of monetary appraisal used for this repod was the trunk value method, except for Ginkgo #47 (a small City Street Tree) for which straight replacement cost was used. Tree valuation is somewhat controversial and values often vary considerably between appraisers, due to some of the subjectivity involved. Individual tree values are presented in this report. Tree values however, should be reasonable relative to the value of the property on which the trees are situated. Studies have shown that trees may add 7 to 15% of the value of a house and lot. Landscaping may account for up to 25% of the value of a house and lot. On this basis, trees might account for up to 15% of the value of a residential property. I do not have knowledge of similar studies done regarding commercial property. I do not know the value of the subject property, but I caution interpreters of the tree values in this report to keep in mind the above guidelines. The appraisal calculation worksheets are not included in this report. These worksheets are available for your review if necessary, at my office. Action refers to the recommendation or intent to save or remove the individual tree, and is summarized as Save, Remove or Debatable. The Notes section allows for detailed comments about individual trees. N, S, E & W are abbreviations for the compass directions North, South, East and West. D is an abbreviation for "diameter". 15 P.O.
