The purpose of the examination was to determine the <br />hazard rating of the subject tree and suggest remedial action if appropriate. <br />The tree was examined on November 26 2005 by Tom Hanson. <br />Tree detail is attached on the "Tree hazard Evaluation Form". <br />The subject tree is 50 or more years in age with a single trunk. It is an over- mature tree with <br />decay pockets at the base of the tree as well as in large scaffold limbs. An increment boring <br />taken at 1-foot above ground found sound wood 6-inches thick but with the core af the tree <br />decayed. <br />The tree appears vigorous although no leaves were on the tree at the time of inspection. A <br />companion ash was removed recently that had extensive bole decay as seen in the stump. <br />The tree is not a hazard because it is not large enough to strike buildings or utilities, and <br />would only cause minor damage if it struck a parked car. It is my opinion that the tree can be <br />retained, however a spring time inspection might reveal vigor problems not now apparent. <br />There is no warranty suggested for any of the tr�es subject to this report. Weather, latent <br />tree conditions, and future man-caused activities cou/d cause physio/ogic changes and <br />deteriorating tr�e condition. Over time, dete�orating tree condifions may appear and there <br />may be conditions, which a� not now visib/e which, cou/d cause tree failurs. This �port or <br />the verbal comments made at the site in no way warrarrt the structural stability or /ong terrn <br />condition of any tree, but r�presenf my opinion based on the observations made. <br />Nearly all trees in any condition standing within r�ach of improvements or human use areas <br />r�pr�sent hazards that cou/d lead to damage orinjury. <br />Please call if I can be of further assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />� <br />� / �l`'LZ�l2j <br />T omas .
