Reason(s) for Tree Removal: Significant decay in trunk with clear and evident termite damage and very poor structural capacity on tension side of lean. Past major limb/stem failures with obvious decay in wounds. Girdling curb against roots along slope further decreasing stem stability over road. Location IS Replantable.

The main trunk of the tree is against and engulfing the fence. The intrusion of the metal fence has significantly compromised the structural stability of tree. Previous branch failures and topping cuts have compromised structural stability of already weak branch structure of species. Location is replantable. Permit 798729

Site: 1, 2
Reason(s) for Tree Removal: New construction of park with new sidewalk and driveway reconstruction, as well as site regrading tree will not survive changes to environment. Multiple concerning issues regarding tree health and sustainability incuding included bark, previous topping cuts for utility compliance, response stress growth in unnatural structured direction.
