Re: Tree Evaluation: 40"Multi trunk Live Oak(Quercus virginiana)
I performed a Level II Tree Risk Assessment on a 40"Live Oak located at 1793 Park Terrace E in Atlantic
Beach. This tree has decay present on two of the three codominant stems with included bark This is when
two or more branches emerge from the same junction and the bark has grown in between the branches. This
leaves a union that is not as strong as wood and is weak and prone to failure. There are visible signs of pest
infestation and tip die back. These are issues that happen when a tree is in severe decline. The Oak also has
Ganoderma on the buttruss root which is a spore-born wood-rotting fungi that infects the tree roots and foot
flares. This issue is exacerbated by a severe lean towards the house.
The Level II Tree Risk Assessment Scale:
Likelihood of failure: Imminent
Likelihood of impact: High
Consequences of failure: Severe
Targets of failure are;House,people
I recommend removal as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or need additional information,please do not hesitate to contact me.
