Tree

Tree Id: 1
Primary ID: 5209
Common Name: Live oak
Scientific Name: Quercus virginiana
DBH: 50
Number of Stems (Multi Calc): 1
Tree Height (Estimated): 60
Mallet Test: Positive
Health Condition: Good- tree vigor is normal for the species. There are no significant signs or symptoms due to pests or diseases, no more than minor discoloration, defoliation and twig or branch dieback.
Structure: Poor- a single serious defect or multiple significant defects. It could also indicate a recent change in trunk angle. Branch, root or trunk failure is probable. Defects may or may not be correctable.
Utilites:
Family: Fagaceae
Observations-Characteristics: Basal decay, Internal column of decay - extensive, Cavity/decay - extensive, Sprawling crown, Dominant tree, Leaning trunk - unstable, Soil Weakness, Co-dominant leaders w/o included bark
Observations-Biotic Pest: Other (see notes)
Observations-Abiotic: None observed
Notes 1: Very large tree with substantial southern lean directly over home. Extensive basal and lower trunk decay. Extensive internal column of decay detected throughout entire lower trunk. Homeowner claims tree has been moving closer to the home. If this is true, this is a very dangerous situation. No good options for continued canopy reduction mitigation pruning to reduce weight and leverage in order to stop the slow progression of the lean toward the home. Bracing from the ground using very large engineered posts would be the only feasible option to stabilize the tree. This is highly specialized engineering work that is only performed by a few companies in the United States. Not a realistic option, and may not be possible from an engineering standpoint due to the proximity and size of the tree to the home.
Notes 2: Removal of the tree is recommended.
