Day, Consulting Certified Arborist, ISA-PNW-0185 SITE: address noted above RE: Health and Condition evaluation for Blue Atlas Cedar 2, ` A D � -�, h MS: �` 2-6s p Assignment On August 5, a health and condition evaluation was conducted on the 25.5 inch diameter (dbh*) Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) growing within a foundation planting bed on the east side of the property. Located on a corner property, the tree has both a south and Best exposure. The intent of the evaluation was to: ® determine the overall health and condition of the tree ® review site conditions impacting the trees' longevity ® assess any risk factors evaluation. Tree Health and Condition Evaluation The tree has developed a co -dominant crown with multiple terminal leaders and typical lateral branch development. There are no external signs of decay. The tree has been regularly pruned to reduce limb loss and raise the crown to allow for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic below. In our climate, this species can be fast growing resulting in weak, often brittle growth that is frequently impacted by windstorms and snowloads causing limb breakage that can result in decay. Site Assessment The tree is located on the east side of the condominium complex. It has grown fast with optimal drainage and light conditions. However, the limited space for root and crown development has caused it to out -grow this location. The large 25.5 inch diameter tree is located within five feet of the building foundation and its broad lateral branches extend into the building and roof. The tree is located within 10 feet of the sidewalk and curb where cars are frequently parked. There is no parking strip between the tree and the curb. Risk Factors Since this tree is prone to limb failure from weak and brittle branch development, consideration should be given to replacing the tree with a more appropriate species that won't interfere with the building and public right-of-way. kathleen.day@comcast.net ® katedaylandscapes.com a 2o6-522-2075 ® 1&6 NE Ravenna Blvd. Seattle, WA 98so5 t- h tN"-4^�� ^ ' xA,�i ')�� RECEIVED 61-0 0 �����U��� K��� ���� A� �M�� �����,���� ,~ o,, Day ~"�: w» �v/` landscape consultant �IPp��� ' DEVELOPMENT3EANCES � Recommendations � Several tree species more appropriate for the location are: Characteristics ' Upright growth habit' slow growing, continuity and context in the � neighborhood since there are several growing onadjacent properties � Evergreen Magnolia ' Magnolia grondiflnra'Little Gem' � Characteristics - Upright growth habit, slow growing to 25'.
