Review of Burlingame Avenue Eucalyptus Tree Report Arborist Disco reported on the Tree Assessment done for the Red Gum Eucalyptus trees on Burlingame Avenue. In the winter of 2017, Burlingame Avenue experienced the failure of two eucalyptus trees and the emergency removal of three more eucalyptus. This loss concerned and prompted staff to have an independent review of the remaining trees in the area. The report was conducted by Kielty Arborist Services. Each tree received a rating based on the ISA approved Matheny and Clark 12 Point Assessment Method. Disco stated this report will assist staff in determining which trees require additional investigation and or removal. At this time it is anticipated that 12 trees will need to be removed and another 13 need additional testing. Another independent arborist report will be done in the near future for the trees on Easton Drive. Commission discussion included replacement tree choice (Eucalyptus Citriadora), safety for the public, age of the trees, and appreciation to staff for the information and vigilance in maintenance of the groves. 1:701034514V Parks Superintendent/City Arborist None 2.
