I understand that you are concerned about the health and stability of the tree. The overall health of the tree is good. There are no significant signs of decline. The major issue with the tree is its stability. The tree's root mass has shifted upward on the house side of the tree. There is a defined line where the root mass is above the natural grade. There has a high probability of complete tree failure due to the upward shift of the root mass. It is not uncommon to see a tree slowing falling over a period R _._. . . of time. Once a lean of a tree gets to a certain point, . -.. 3. the weight of the trunk and canopy will increase the 1,, •41 I potential of the tree failing. There is no means to 8 .. support this tree due to its size and location. Reducing 4 the weight of the crown on the leaning side will have �. minimal effects on the potential of tree failure. A I determine this tree to be hazardous and strongly recommend the removal of this tree. When this tree o 1. fails, it has a high potential of causing substantial property damage to your residence and your your luf neighbors. There will also be damage to utility lines in rt~ x ' •• the area, as well as the potential of personal injury. - w 'r yw Photo: lean of live oak showing edge of root mass If you have any questions about my report, please do not hesitate to contact me.
