This <br />tree has lived it's entire life subordinated on all sides by more <br />dominant tree's. Furthermore, approximately 50% of this trees crown <br />has broken away on the east side, leaving the rest of the crown over <br />the house weakly attached to a fractured, hollow trunk. Failure is <br />inevitable and damage,to the home can be assumed. <br />The second tree is in the back patio, also in close proximity to the <br />house. This tree was sentenced to a shortened life when the house <br />and patio was constructed. The natural terrene was altered. The <br />grade was raised dramtically on the trunk of the tree, then encircled <br />by cement, thus slowing the trees ability to function, and causing a <br />long slow death. This irreversible decline is now extremely apparent. <br />The hollowing has surpassed the trunk, and is now throughout the main <br />supporting limb. Property damage can be expected with each limb <br />failure, or massive destruction to the other trees, landscape and /or <br />home, should the whole tree fail at once. <br />The removal of these two trees is a unwelcome loss to all concerned, <br />but to neglect the need of removal will only cause greater losses. <br />Sincerely, <br />Z <br />David A.
