Re: 3 trees located at 10280 Scenic Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014
Dear Moe:
At your request, I inspected 3 trees in the front yard at the above-mentioned address in
Cupertino.
Tree Summary:
Tree # 1 is a Coast Live Oak (Quercus a ra ifolia)
DBH: 24"
Height: 35'
Crown Spread: 55'
Location: Front yard, right side near house.
Condition: Fair to good.
Comments: This tree has codominant leaders which is very poor structure. It has also
been pruned improperly in the past. This tree is inside the perimeter of the planned
foundation for the new home.
Tree # 2 is a Douglas Fir (Psendotsuca menziesii)
DBH: 32"
Height: 80'
Crown Spread: 35'
Location: Center front yard near home.
Condition: Fair to poor.
Comments: This tree has poor color & sparse foliage. The planned foundation of the
home cuts right through the root crown of this tree.
Tree # 3 is also a Douglas Fir (Psendotsuca menziesii)
DBH: 28"
Height: 70'
Crown Spread: 45'
Location: Front yard left of garage.
Condition: Fair to poor.
Comments: This tree also has poor color & sparse foliage. The planned foundation of the
home cuts right through the root crown of this tree as well.
Conclusion:
Based on the 3 tree locations on this property in regards to the proposed plans, it is very
clear these 3 trees must be removed. The oak tree is completely within the planned
foundation and the new perimeter cuts right through the root crown of the 2 Douglas Fir
trees well within the driplines very near the trunks making them an extreme hazard. I
recommend replanting new trees in your new landscape plan as these will have to be
replaced according to city specifications.
If you have any questions, I can reached on my cell phone, 408-691-3696.
Sincerely,
