Updated Arborist Report HortScience I Bartlett Consulting <br /> Sarvana Chilla, 3987 Stanley Page 2 <br /> Low: Tree in poor health or with significant structural defects that cannot <br /> be mitigated. Tree is expected to continue to decline, regardless of <br /> treatment. The species or individual may have characteristics that <br /> are undesirable for landscapes, and generally are unsuited for use <br /> areas. <br /> Description of Trees <br /> Nineteen (19)trees were evaluated and are summarized in Table 1. Three (3)of the trees (#1, <br /> 17 and 19 were off-site with a portion of the crown extending onto the property). Descriptions of <br /> each tree are provided in the Tree Assessment Form and approximate locations are plotted on <br /> the Tree Assessment Map(see Exhibits). <br /> Table 1.

All eight of these trees were in good <br /> condition. Windmill palms were semi-mature (8-10" DBH). Trees had brown trunks that ranged <br /> from 15-25' (photo 1, next page). Five trees (#11-15)were located along the north perimeter <br /> fence line and three (#7-9)were located near the house and out buildings. <br />gnificant structural defects that cannot be abated. <br /> 1 -Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage <br /> from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated. <br /> 5. Rating the suitability for preservation as "high", "moderate" or"low". Suitability for <br /> preservation considers the health, age and structural condition of the tree, and its <br /> potential to remain an asset to the site for years to come. <br /> High: Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential <br /> for longevity at the site. <br /> Moderate: Trees with somewhat declining health and/or structural defects than <br /> can be abated with treatment. The tree will require more intense <br /> management and monitoring, and may have shorter life span than <br /> those in `high'category. <br />s, and materials? <br /> Conclusion Discussion Point#3 <br /> 3.
