Hillsdale Blvd. Suite 317 � Forster City, Ca. 94404 BY� _ Arborist Report On September 26, 2013, I observed one Southern Magnolia or Magnolia grandiflora tree at 10601 S. De Anza Blvd in Cupertino, Ca. The tree is located in the front of the property near the northeast corner of the building. The tree has codominant standards at approximately 3' above natural grade and the standards measure 53"and 78" in circumference at 4.5' above ground level. The tree is approximately 45 feet tall with approximate canopy spread of 45 feet. Through a thorough inspection, from ground level I was able to observe a number of defects in the tree. The tree is in a severe sta.te of decline. At the present time, it is in my estimation that there is only 5-10% of live tissue remaining in the tree. This dead tissue is likely attributed a couple of factors. The first and largest factor would be the root disturbance on the west side of the base of the tree. A new concrete walkway was installed within the last 5 years and in the process of installation, it appears that many basil roots were severed within 12"of the trunk of the tree. This amount of root loss not only compromised the tree's health but also compromises the tree's stability. The chance of a complete uprooting of the tree towards De Anza Blvd is greater possibility with the loss of the basil roots on the west side of the tree. In conclusion, with the amount of dead tissue and disturbance to the tree's root system, the tree poses as a high risk tree for the property. Based on the age, specie, dead tissue, and root loss, I strongly recommend removal of the trees in question as soon as possible.
