Trees and species: 5 Douglas Firs
Tree# 1, 28” DBH 80’ tall with 50’ co dominant stems
Tree# 2, 12” DBH 65’ tall
Tree# 3, 18” DBH 80’ tall co dominant stems
Tree# 4, 25” DBH 80 ’tall co dominant stems
Tree# 5, 28” DBH 80’ tall co dominant stems
OBSERVATIONS:
I examined a row of 5 very tall Douglas fir trees with extremely tall co dominant stems and
oversized branches due to a previous topping estimated 35 to 40 years ago.
3 of the trees exhibit a high risk of failure due to weak attachments and included bark in
addition to the extreme height.
The trees are located in a fairly new development and are open to all wind forces from any
direction, 3 of the trees meet high risk and high consequences of failure standards,
removing only them would create a much higher risk of failure and impact for the
remaining 2 firs.
RECCOMENDATIONS;
I recommend the trees be removed and replanting 3 Excelsa Cedar (Thuja plicata Excelsa)
The lot size of this property is very small and there are existing Excelsa Cedars on either
sides of the firs to be removed.
