2302 Bareforrt Trace Arborist Letter and Reports Advanced Tree Care, Inc. To whom it may concern, On February 7, 2024, 1 evaluated the health and structure of multiple laurel oaks (Quercus laurifolia) and live oaks (Quercus virginiana) growing on the residential property at 2302 Barefoot Trace in Atlantic Beach, Florida. I performed a Level 2 Basic Assessment, which is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site. The Level 2 Assessment includes a 360-degree visual inspection from ground level on the tree and a sounding test of the accessible portions of the trunk with a rubber mallet to listen for tonal variations that may indicate dead external tissue or internal hollows. The inspection was done in accordance with ANSI A300 Standards on Tree Risk Assessment and the companion publication Best Management Practices, Tree Risk Assessment.1,2 Laurel Oaks. University of Florida Professor Emeritus of environmental horticulture, Ed Gilman describes the tree, "Laurel Oaks have a life span of 50 to 70 years. Tree trunks and large branches often hollow from decay and wood rot. The smallest trunk injury or improper pruning cut can result in columns of decay inside the trunk which are 10, 20 or more feet long." Gilman goes on to say, "It (the laurel oak) grows well as a street tree and will serve the community well, but hollows with age as it approaches 50 years old."3 I determined trees#1,#2,#3,#4,#5 to have poor structure. A tree risk rating of each tree was generated following ANSI A300 Standards for tree risk assessment, and the corresponding Best Management Practices publication. Each of the referenced trees generated a risk rating of"High". There are no practical o#ptions for mitigation of the trees below"moderate" that would not likely kill the trees. The trees poses an unacceptable risk. Tree removal is recommended. See the attached individual Tree Risk Assessment reports for trees#1,#2,#3,#4,#5.
