RE: Health and Condition evaluation for Blue Atlas Cedar

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.

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'. Small white flowers throughout
�
spring and summer, adapts well toconfined locations
4 Characteristics - Upright growth habit, height to 30', Northwest native appearance, winter
interest, adaptable tovariety ofcultural conditions
� Definitions
Dbh - the standard location for measuring the size of a tree taken at 4.5 feet above grade,
diameter at breast height. The location is where the trunk flare is reduced and a more
accurate diameter can bumeasured.
Crown raising - pruning practice of removing lower limbs to allow for clearance in pedestrian
areas ofpublic hght-a-waylocations.
