City Council Meeting: May 22, 2008
Agenda Item:
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Elaine Polachek, Community Maintenance Director
Subject: Funding Appropriation for Removal and Replacement of Declining Carob
Trees
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council appropriate of $395,000 for the removal and
replacement of approximately 299 declining carob trees and the specialized pruning of
an additional 330 carob trees:
Executive Summary
As part of the FY 07/08 Community Forest Renewal program, staff conducted a study of
mature carob trees throughout the City. The objective was to determine their health,
viability and any risk that could be associated with their declining condition. The study
focused on mature and over-mature .carob trees that showed signs of decline and/or a
risk potential that could present a liability implication for the City. Study results indicate
that out of the 299 trees that require removal, 97 of those trees pose a significant risk of
failure. Several additional trees require removal and specialized pruning in order to
eliminate the risk exposure associated with these trees. An appropriation of $395,000 is
needed to remove, prune and replace these carob trees. A community meeting was
held on May 7, 2008 where a panel of urban forestry experts provided additional
information on carobs and answered an array of questions from residents. It was
agreed that staff would re-assess the 202 trees identified for removal and determine
whether a phased removal plan for these trees was feasible. Staff will return to Council
.once the reassessment is completed to report their findings and provide
recommendations for a removal plan. The public outreach and community education
component of this project will continue with presentations to community organizations in
May and June. Residents and merchants within a 300 foot radius of the project. areas
will be notified of public meetings and community members will be invited to help select
the species of replacement trees for the affected areas.

Background
The City's Community Forest consists of over 33,000 trees along its streets and in its
parks. Planted over the course of the City's history, these trees are an important
component of Santa Monica's infrastructure and like streets, sidewalks and other City
infrastructure, they need to be evaluated and renewed on a regular basis. This is
especially true given that Santa Monica's forest is aging and many trees are reaching
the end of their lifespan.
Prudent urban forest- management requires an assessment of a species' health and
structural condition. That analysis began in 2005 with an evaluation of 517 eucalyptus
trees. As a result of that study by an independent consulting arborist, 77 trees were
identified as having a risk of failure and requiring immediate removal to prevent future
injuries and/or property damage. In 2007, a study of 300 Canary Island Date Palms in
Palisades Park was undertaken with 44 dead and dying palms identified for removal
and subsequent replacement.
Given that the City's Community Forest is aging, an on-going ahnual renewal and
replacement program has been established to perpetuate a healthy urban forest. As
part of the FY 07/08 Community Forest Renewal program, staff contracted with
HortScience, an independent consulting arborist, to study 630 carob trees throughout
the City to determine their health and viability and any risk that could be associated with
their condition. The Carob Assessment Report. is Attachment 1, The impetus for this
study came as a result of several carob tree failures over the past five years. The study
focused on mature and over-mature carob trees that showed signs of decline and/or a
risk potential that could present a liability implication for the City. Study results. indicated
that 300 carob trees present significant risk of failure and require removal and several
additional trees require removal and specialized pruning in order to eliminate the risk
exposure associated with these trees.

Discussion
Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is a common tree found on Santa Monica's streets and ranks as
the 12th most prevalent species in the City's tree inventory. They have a moderate
growth rate, are drought-resistant and require little irrigation. When planted in confined
grow spaces their large lateral roots usually displace adjacent pavement. The
displacement of pavement by roots and the associated root pruning requirements limits
its value as a street tree. Carobs are generally pest-free but are highly susceptible to
decay fungi. These decay organisms are more likely to be found in trees that have
wounds or have been root pruned for hardscape repair. The problem becomes
compounded in trees that are irrigated in the summer. The life-span of carobs grown in
southern California streetscape settings is unknown. This is because mature trees
often fail due to decay at the base of the trunk, poor structure or general decline in
condition. Over 80% of reported failures for carobs involve decay. The condition and
viability of each carob tree was evaluated and details of its growth and structure were
noted. Over 40% (267 trees) of the 630 trees
evaluated were determined to be in poor
condition with only 15% (94 trees) found to
be in good condition. A tree in poor condition
typically shows signs of dieback in the
canopy, sparse foliage, excessive sucker
growth along the stems or structural defects.
Trees in poor condition are in a spiral of
decline and most likely have only a few
remaining years of life.
Close to 200 of the surveyed trees had
fruiting bodies of decay fungi present along
the trunk and branches. An example is
shown in the photo at right.
3
This fungus finds its way into trees through wounds and digests the tree's internal
structure, reducing the strength of the wood and the stability of the tree. The presence
of fruiting bodies of the fungus on the exterior of the tree indicates that internal decay is
extensive.
The potential of each tree to fail. was assessed using a standard risk rating system that
is commonly used in the arboriculture industry. Three components were rated on a
.scale from 1 to 4 with 4 being the highest. They are: 1) the likelihood that a failure
would take place; 2) the size of the part of the tree most likely to fail and 3) the target
below the tree. The three components were added together to form a composite risk
rating that ranges from 3 to 12. Of the 630 trees that were studied, 98 trees had risk
ratings of 10 and above (1 tree with a rating of 12 has already been removed). This is a
clear indication that the carob trees have reached the end of their useful life and need to
be removed. The study also indicates that 267 trees have a remaining life span of 5
years while 63% of them (168 trees) have an expected remaining life-span of less than
2 years.
The photo at right shows a
weak carob with poor viability
and an off-balanced canopy.
The potential risk of its failure
will increase as time passes
and the trees like the one in the
photo continue to decline.
Among the surveyed trees, 267
showed defects in structure,
poor branch attachments,
canopy dieback, old wounds which have developed into cavities and fungal fruiting
bodies of decay fungi. The photo below shows a tree leaning over the sidewalk with a
huge wound running along the length of its trunk.
4
Another 40% (279 trees) of the surveyed
trees were determined to be in fair condition,
yet have the same types of defects that were
found in the trees in poor condition. This
means that in order to correct that situation
these trees will require specific pruning
treatments to eliminate the structural defects
which in turn eliminates the potential risk
associated with those trees.
The photo at below left shows a healthy appearing tree, but the photo on the right
reveals that there are old wounds that have developed into decay pockets which have
rendered the tree unstable. This tree has a risk rating of 11.
5
The neighborhoods with the largest quantity of removals with the estimated loss of
overall canopy coverage are listed as follows:
1. 12t" Street between Montana Ave. and San Vicente Blvd.
49 trees to be removed out of 146 trees fora 34% loss in canopy
2. 10tH Street between Montana Ave. and San Vicente Blvd.
48 trees to be removed out of 131 trees fora 37% loss in canopy
3. Hill Street between between1ltn St. and 21St St.
36 trees to be removed out of 160 trees fora 23% loss in canopy
4. Ocean Park Blvd. between 11t" St and 21St St.
30 trees to be removed out of 142 trees fora 25% loss in canopy.
5. Lincoln Blvd. between Montana Ave. and San Vicente Blvd.
29 trees to be removed out of 89 trees fora 33% loss in canopy
6. 16t" Street between Montana Ave. and San Vicente Blvd.
20 trees to be removed out of 190 trees for an 11 % loss in canopy
7 29tH Street between Ocean Park Blvd. and Pico Blvd.
18 trees to be removed out of 79 trees fora 23% loss in canopy
8 17tH Street between Ocean Park Blvd. and Pier Ave.
17 trees to be removed out of 58 trees fora 29% loss in canopy
9. Franklin Street between Nebraska Ave. and Colorado Ave.
11 trees to be removed out of 67 trees for an 18% loss in canopy
These neighborhoods represent a total of 258 trees that need to be removed with the
remaining 41 trees identified for removal located in individual sites throughout the City.
6
All of the trees that are slated for removal will be replaced as part of this project. Staff
has also taken into account an additional 50 trees that will need to be planted in the
immediate vicinity of the tree removals that might be already missing. This is because
in some cases trees have already been removed and have yet to be replaced, or in
other cases where residents will request a tree to be planted in an existing vacant tree
well that is in close proximity.
The report also identifies an additional 330 trees that require specific pruning
procedures that will eliminate decayed limbs and correct leaning or off-balanced
canopies which normally would not be addressed until their next scheduled pruning
cycle. The individual trees have been identified in the consultant's report and will be
pruned ahead. of their regular pruning cycle by in-house and contract crews.
Summary of Tree Conditions & Risk Ratings
The carob study clearly shows that the conditions of the trees vary from poor to
excellent, yet the vast majority of them are in fair to poor condition. A summary of the
condition and viability of the 630 carobs that were studied is as follows:

Environmental Analysis
Recently, Council requested that staff provide. information on the environmental trade
offs when considering tree removals and their replacements. Staff is in the process of
evaluating these costs and benefits. Specifically in regards to the environmental
services that mature trees provide, staff is assessing what will be lost when they are
removed, and then how soon, how much, and when those services will be restored.
This environmental analysis is being conducted by utilizing the City's electronic street
tree inventory information and calculating benefits through the use of new technology
developed through the U.S. Forest Service's Community & Urban Forestry Program.
That program is called. STRATUM (Street Tree Resource Tool for Urban Forest
Managers) and utilizes current tree inventory data to quantify the current dollar value of
annual environmental and aesthetic benefits, energy conservation, .air quality
improvement, CO2 reduction, storm water control, and impacts on property values. The
analysis will then project the environmental benefits of the replacement trees at the time
of replacement, 5 years from replacement and 15 years from replacement. Removal of
the carob trees will need to precede this evaluation, however, to address the risk of
potential tree failure.

CEQA Compliance
This project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301. This Category
Class 1 CEQA exemption includes the maintenance or minor alteration of existing public
or private structures, facilities; mechanical equipment or topographical features which
involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.
The non-exclusive list of examples of existing uses that fall within this exemption include
"the maintenance of existing landscaping." This project, involving the removal and
replacement of approximately 299 existing carob trees and the specialized pruning of an
additional 330 trees, constitutes routine and prudent maintenance of the City's existing
landscape. The removal and replacement of trees in poor health or subject to tree
failure is necessary to protect pedestrians and the public at large. Given the nature of
this project, the removal and replacement of existing trees and the pruning of other
existing trees, this project involves no expansion in existing use.
This project is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15304 since it
consists of minor public alteration in the condition of land which does not involve
healthy, mature, and scenic trees. Instead, this project involves the removal and
replacement of trees in poor health or subject to tree failure and the pruning of other
existing trees.
This project is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3) since the
removal of trees that are in poor health or subject to tree failure and their replacement
with healthy trees has no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
Contractor Selection
In FY 00/01 the City solicited competitive bids for tree care services (bid number 2835)
those bids were opened on May 11, 2001. Subsequently City Council approved the bid
award to West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) on July 10, 2001 (Item 1D on the Agenda).
The bid was awarded for a one year period with nine additional one year renewal
options.
9
The City is currently in the 7th year of the agreement with 3 additional one year renewal
options at the same price terms and conditions. This work will be added to WCA's work
load at the same price terms and conditions as the original bid.
Public Outreach
Public outreach is an important component of this project to educate the community on
the importance of removing trees that are in a state of decline or pose a high level of
risk to the public. Staff held a community meeting on May 7, 2008 where a panel
comprised of urban forestry experts from across the State presented information about
carob trees and responded to questions from community members. Staff will be making
presentations to each of the incorporated neighborhood organizations. through the
months of May and June 2008. In addition, staff will meet with representatives from
various tree advocacy groups and individual residents. The information presented to
the public will include the following key points:
• Complete description of the City's forest, including the age of various trees.
• Urban forestry principles and standards that guide the City's program.
• Need to diversify Santa Monica's forest.
Growth habit of the carob.
Process of decay and its impact on tree stability.
• Risk assessment protocol:
• Rotational management strategy.
Proposed replacement strategy and the designation of Tree Selection Committees.
Additional public outreach strategies include posting the consultant's report and a fact
sheet on this project on the City's website, and conducting a press conference in the
field that will physically identify defects in the trees.
10
Implementatioh of Removals & Specialty Pruning Treatments
The first phase of the program is to initiate the removal of 97 trees in poorest overall
condition and those with risk ratings of 10 and above. Removals will begin in July
immediately following the public outreach process with the posting of the trees for the
standard two week public comment. Trees that are considered to be too high of a risk
to wait for the two week comment period will be removed as soon as possible. These
97 trees are shown in the attached map in red and are at the following locations:
10 St. = 10 trees 15` St. = 3 trees Euclid Av. = 2 trees Lincoln BI. = 12 trees
11` St.= 1 tree 16` St. = 9 trees Franklin St. = 5 trees Palisades Pk. = 1 tree
12` St.= 10 trees 17` St. = 1 tree Hill St. = 12 trees Ocean Park BI. = 15 trees
14` St.= 1 tree 29` St. = 8 trees Idaho Av. = 3 trees Pier Av. = 4 trees
Staff estimates 20 - 25 working days to complete the removal of these trees.
At the May 7`h community meeting, staff committed to re-assessing the 202 trees that
have risk ratings of 8 and 9 and are identified for removal. The Community Forester will
re-examine these trees and meet with interested residents to determine whether a
phased removal over an extended period of time is feasible. Staff will report back to
Council with findings once their reassessment is completed and will provide
recommendations for a possible phased removal plan. However, with the ultimate goal
being public safety, phasing the removals of some trees may not be warranted.
The specialty pruning work can begin immediately and will be conducted concurrently
with the removals by a separate contract crew. The pruning work will consist of
removing decayed limbs, correcting leaning and off-balanced canopies and standard
pruning requirements. This work will be closely monitored by staff and be done in
accordance with the recommendations of the carob study. Staff estimates the work to
be completed in approximately 40 - 45 working days.
11
Selection and Replacement Process for Street Trees
While some streets already have a replacement species designated. by the Community
Forest Management Plan (CFMP) with an appropriate tree, other streets will need a
new replacement species designated. The conditions that trigger the process for
selecting a new tree species are when a replacement species has not yet identified in
the CFMP.
Policy 1.4 mandates that City. implement a process for community involvement in the
decision making process for when designating or selecting a new species of tree for a
three block area or more. Since the community has a significant interest and
involvement irr the community forest, public input is greatly desired when selecting
street trees. The processes for community involvement will take into account the
varying conditions and situations in the individual neighborhoods.
The following seven member committee will make the determination after public input:
• the Director of Community Maintenance or designee,
• the Community Forester,
• a staff member from the Planning and Community Development Department,
• a staff member from the Environmental and Public Works Management Department,
• a representative from the Recreation and Parks Commission's Community Forest
Sub-Committee,
• a designated member from the public to be named by the Recreation and Parks
Commission.
• a local Arborist from the community.
Residents and merchants within a 300 foot radius of the project areas will be notified of
public meetings to provide input on the recommended tree species and opportunities for
public comment on recommended options will occur at those public meetings.
12
Notices for the meetings will be published in the local newspaper, sent to property
owners, merchants and residents in the- project area as well as other interested
members of the community. Staff estimates that the tree selection process will take 2 -
3months to process and complete and anticipates planting to begin in the fall season.
Once all the species have been designated and the trees have been tagged in the
nurseries the planting process should be completed in approximately 30 working days.
Alternatives
If Council chooses not to approve this request for funding, the tree removals and
specialty pruning work that must occur will be paid for out of the current tree trimming
budget. This will result in a reduction in the number of trees trimmed next year by 40%
which translates to 2,200 fewer trees trimmed in FY 08/09. Given that the trimming
program is currently behind in standards by over 6,000 trees the potential risk
associated with that deficit increases. Council may choose to only authorize funding to
remove and prune the carob trees and not to replace any tree that were removed.
Without an additional budget appropriation for replacement trees, new trees would not
be planted until funding could be identified for replacement trees in the future. This
would result in an increase in tree vacancies and loss of future environmental benefits.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
An appropriation of $395,000 is required in account 01576.555010 for the following
items:
Estimated cost for the removals: $230,000
Estimated cost for specialized pruning: $50,000
Estimated cost of tree replacements: $115,000
Total estimated project cost: $395,000
13
Staff is requesting the entire appropriation in FY 08/09 as all of the 299 removals will
occur within. that fiscal year. Since there will be a minimal net gain in the number of
trees there will not be a significant increase in maintenance costs to the City.

Carob Assessment
Executive Summary
Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) is a common tree found on Santa Monica's
streets particularly Hill, Franklin, 10tH 12tH and 16tH Streets as well as
Lincoln Blvd.
In October 2007, HortScience; Inc. performed a visual assessment of the
health and structural condition of 630 of the City's carob trees. Each tree
was identified with a numerically coded metal tag, its condition and
viability evaluated and details of its growth and structure were noted.
Almost 40% of the 630 trees evaluated were assessed in poor condition,
only 15% were in good and excellent condition:
Almost 200 of the surveyed trees had fruiting bodies of decay fungi
present along the trunk and branches. Sulfur fungus (Laeitporus
gilbertsoni~) and ganoderma (Ganoderma applanatum) were the most
common fungal species. Both digest the tree's internal structure, reducing
the strength of the wood and the stability of the tree as they do so. The
presence of the fruiting bodies of these species indicates that internal
decay is extensive.
The potential of each tree to fail over the next two years was assessed
using a risk rating system common in the arboriculture industry. Three
components (the likelihood of that a failure would take place, the size of
the part of the tree most likely to fail, and the target below the tree) were
rated on a scale from 1 to 4, where 1 =less likely and 4 =most risk. The
three components are added together to form a composite risk rating
which may range from 3 to 12. Ninety-eight (98) of the 630 trees
assessed received risk ratings of 10 and above.
Overall, the surveyed group of carob trees is fast becoming a problem for
the City rather than an asset. The overall viability of the surveyed trees
was problematic with over half having a projected life-span of less than 5
years. The rate of failure of entire trees or their branches will only
increase in the future. The prudent management action would be to
initiate a program of removal and replacement, starting with trees in
poorest overall condition and those with the highest risk ratings.

1. Introduction and Methods
Thousands of trees line Santa Monica's streets and grace its parks. Planted over the
course of the City's history, these trees are an important component of Santa Monica's
urban forest. Management of this resource falls under the purview of the City's Public
Landscape Division.
One of the issues faced by the City of Santa Monica is enhancing the safety of those who
live, work and visit there. The Public Landscape Division wants to manage the carob
trees to conserve the resource while protecting public safety (Photo 1). To that end, the
City contracted with HortScience, Inc. to undertake an assessment of the condition and
risk of failure posed by the carob trees along streets and in the major parks. This report
provides 4he following information:
1. A summary of health and structural condition of 630 carob trees.
2. An evaluation of the risk of failure posed by the trees.
3. Recommendations for action.

condition with a full, dense crown. Note absence of irrigated lawn & sprouts along lower

Carob trees
Carob, Ceratonia siliqua, is native 40
eastern Mediterranean. !t is a medium-
sized tree, 25' to 50' tall with a crown of
equal spread. Foliage is evergreen. There
are male and female 4rees. Male flowers
are not showy but have a strong odor. The
fruit is a 4" to 6" long chocolate-colored pod
that can be rather messy, particularly when
they are broken and the internal gum is
released (Photo 2).

City of Santa Monica Page 2
Carobs have a moderate growth rate. They are quite drought-resistant, as would be
expected by its place of origin. The species prefers well-drained soils with little
supplemental irrigation.
Carobs are generally pest-free. That said, it is susceptible to a number of decay fungi as
well as verticilium wilt, a disease of the tree's conducting tissue. Decay organisms are
more likely to be problematic when trees are irrigated in the summer. In addition, it forms
large lateral roots that will damage and displace adjacent pavement.
The life-span of carobs grown in California is unknown. Once mature, trees often fail due
to decay in the base of the trunk and large buttress roots. Decay organisms such as
sulfur fungus (Laetiporus gilbertsonii), ganoderma (Ganoderma applanatum) and oak root
fungus (Armillaria mellea) digest wood and weaken the structure of the tree. Over 80%
of reported failures for carob involve decay.
Alternatively, trees may simply decline in vigor, with a gradually thinning canopy of dead
and dying twigs (Photo 2)
Although carobs are common as street trees in California, they are more appropriately
used in gardens and spaces without nearby pavement. The displacement of pavement
by roots and the amount of annual litter produced limits its value as a street tree. In fact,
carob is not recommended for use as a street tree in Street Trees Recommended for
Southern California (2ntl edition. 1996. Street Tree Seminar Inc.).
Tree Risk Assessment
Tree Risk Assessment is the systematic process of evaluating the potential for a tree or
one of its parts to fail and, in so doing, injure people or damage property. All trees have
the potential to fail. The degree of risk will vary with the size of the tree, type and location
of the defect, tree species, and the nature of the target. Assessing this risk involves three
components:
1. Evaluating the tree's health and structural condition,
2. Considering environment factors of the site, weather and management that
may contribute to a failure, and
3. Assessing the likelihood that a person or object would be injured or
damaged (i.e. the target) should a failure occur
In this study, only carob trees along streets and in parks were evaluated. Individual trees
were identified using the City of Santa Monica's tree inventory. The City provided a list of
trees to be evaluated as well as a general tree location map.
Tree Evaluation Procedure
The evaluation was conducted in a walking survey. External signs and symptoms of
disease and defects in structure that are likely to lead to tree failure were noted by visual
inspection. The following procedure was used:
1. Verify the location, usually by address, using the City's tree inventory and/or
maps.
2. Attaching a numerically coded metal tag to the north side of the trunk.
3. Measure the trunk diameter in inches at a point 54" above grade.
4. Rate the health and structural condition using a scale of 0 - 5:
5 - A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease,
with good structure and form typical of the species.
4 -Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, minor structural
defects that could be corrected.

Tree Evaluation Procedure, continued.
3 -Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning
of crown,. poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated
with regular care.
2 -Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large
branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated.
1-Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of
foliage from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.
0 -Tree is dead.
5. Comment on significant aspects of the health & structure.
6. Assess the future viability using the following scale:
• Very poor -tree is likely to die or fail within two years.
• Poor -tree life span may be up to 5 years.
• Moderate -tree life may be 5 to 15 years.
• Good -tree may be expected to survive for 15 years or longer.
7. Where decay was suspected in the lower trunk and buttress roots, these were
sounded with a hammer. The findings were recorded.
8. Identify the part of the tree most likely to fail and hit a target within the next two
years.
9. Identify the target(s) that would be impacted by that failure (e.g. street, parking).
10. Rate the potential hazard using the method described in A Photographic Guide
to the Evaluation of Hazard Trees in Urban Areas (Matheny and Clark, 1994).
The components of the risk rating are: most likely failure, failure potential, size of
part, target rating, and risk rating. These components are described in the next
section.
11. Determine the need for additional testing such as decay detection root collar
inspection and/or aerial inspection of the crown.
Tree Risk Rating System
To summarize the information about tree and target into an overall rating, the most likely
failure to occur within the next two years was identified (e.g. branch, one stem, whole
tree). Then, each of the three characteristics for that part was assigned a rating:
Failure potential (4 points) -identifies the most likely failure and rates the likelihood
that the structural defect(s) will result in failure. Examples of ratings are:
1 -low -defects are minor
2 -medium -defects are present and obvious
3 -high -compounding and/or significant defects present
4 -severe -defects are very severe
Size of defective part (4 points) -rates the size of the part most likely to fail. The
larger the part that fails, the greater the potential for damage. Therefore, the size of
the failure affects the hazard potential. Examples are:
1 -most likely failure less than 6" in diameter
2 -most likely failure 6 - 18" in diameter
3 -most likely failure 18 - 30" in diameter
4 -most likely failure greater than 30" in diameter
Target rating (4 points) -rates the use and occupancy of the area that would be
struck by the defective part
1 -occasional use (e.g. landscape)
2 -intermittent use (e.g. tree lawn, sidewalk, park path)
3 -frequent use (e.g. parking spaces)
4 -constant use, structures (e.g. residences, streets)

Il. Results and Evaluation
Description of Trees
Six hundred and thirty (630) trees were evaluated (Table 1). Descriptions of individual
trees are found in the Tree Survey Forms (see Attachments). A summary of general
characteristics is provided below.
Among the surveyed trees, over 40%
(268) were in poor condition and were
characterized by one or more of the
following defects in structure:
codominant or multiple branch
attachments, dieback of iwigs and
branches, thin canopies, fungal fruiting
bodies and decay cavities, history of
failure, and lean {Table 1, following
page).
Approximately two-thirds of trees (186 of
268) in poor condition and had visible
signs of decay, either fruiting bodies or
cavities. A number of trees had both
(Photo 3). I identified three decay
organisms: sulfur fungus and two
species of ganoderma (Ganoderma
applanatum and G. lucidum). It is likely
that two root decay organisms, oak root
fungus and phytophthora (Phytophthora
sp.), were also present in some trees.
The presence of fruiting bodies indicates
that decay is extensive and has been
present in the 4ree for a long period of
time. Photo 3. Tree #792 was in poor condition with
extensive decay including conks as well poor form and structure.
Another 40% of the surveyed trees were
in fair condition. Defects were similar to
those found in trees in poor condition but
were less severe (Photo 4).
Approximately 15% of the treeswere in
good and excellent condition. Trees in
this group usually had well-formed
crowns and dense canopies.
Photo 4. Tree #707 was in fair
condition. Note that scaffold branches
attach at one point (red arrow) and the
crown was asymmetric in form.

Tree viability was also assessed (Table 1) as the likelihood of survival. I assessed the
viability of 184 trees (approx. 30%) as very poor. These trees can be expected to either
fail or die within the next 2 years. Another 30% had poor viability, with a potential life-
span of 2 to 5 years. In contrast, 66 trees (10%) were assessed as having good viability
with an anticipated life span of 15 years or more.
There was a clear relationship between overall tree condition and viability. Trees in poor
condition, such as #792 (Photo 3), were more likely to have viability of less than 2 years.
fn contrast, trees in fair condition, such as #707 (Photo 4) were more likely to have
viability between 2 and 15 years. Trees in goad and excellent condition can be expected
to survive more than 15 years.-

In summary, tree condition varied from poor to excellent with the vast majority of
surveyed trees being in poor and fair condition. Reasons for this finding include:
• Trees tended to be mature and overmature in development.
• Wounds from root-pruning were common and were often associated with decay.
Root-pruning was the typical response to root-pavement conflicts for a number of
years (but is no longer roufinely performed). Root-pruning was more severe in
narrow (<4") planting spaces but even trees in 8' and 10' wide areas had been
root-pruned.
• Trees were located in irrigated lawn. Summer watering increases the presence
of root decay organisms in the soil. Wet soil conditions reduce tree vigor.
• Trees in Santa Monica were pruned improperly for many years, in a manner
inconsistent with modern standards and current practices. The effect of these
poor practices was twofold. First, large wounds were created, wounds that are.
now decayed. Second, the most productive parts of the tree were removed.
Results of Decay Testing
Five trees were selected for additional decay testing due to the presence of decay
indicators identified during the visual assessment. All had either fungal fruiting bodies or
cavities. The presence of decay is significant as the fungi digest the components of the
cell wall, compromising the integrity of the wood. As wood is weakened, the tree and its
parts are more likely to fail.

The extent of decay was evaluated by using two methods: 1) probing the interior of the
tree with a small diameter drill bit or 2) using the Resistograph, a device which also uses
a small drill-like probe.
For the drilling, the color and texture of the shavings as well as the resistance to the drill
were assessed and recorded. For the Resistograph, the instrument measured the
resistance to penetration, a direct indicator of wood strength. Wood is considered sound,
i.e., no decay, if the shavings are normal in color and resistance to drilling is consistent.
along the length of the bit. Decay is present if the shavings are discolored, spongy,
possess a rank odor and resistance to drilling decreases. When decay has completely
degraded the wood, a hollow is created. In this situation, there is no resistance to drilling
and the bit plunges into the #ree. No shavings are encountered with a hollow.
Trees selected for testing had some
indications of decay. The developmen4 of a
fruiting body such as sulfur fungus (Photo 3)
was a clear indication that decay is not only
present but extensive. For this reason, trees
such as #792 were not tested.
More typical of trees selected for testing was
#1263 (Photo 5). The base of the trunk was
unusually large and sounded hollow when
struck with a hammer. There were no
external indicators of decay such as fruiting
bodies or cavities in this area. i drilled the
lower trunk to determine if decay was present
internally. Results indicated that a narrow
shell of sound wood surrounded an internal
center of decayed tissue (Table 2)
Photo 6. The lower trunk of 4ree #1263
lacked external indicators of decay. Testing
revealed the presence of internal decay.
Results of the decay testing were incorporated into the assessment of failure potential. In
the case of tree #1263, the testing raised the failure potential from high to severe.
Tree Risk Ratings
The first step in rating the risk associated with a tree is to identify the part of the tree most
likely to fail and strike a target. Just as 4rees in poor overall condition are more likely to
die than trees in good condition, trees in poor condition are also more likely to fail. That
said, even a green, healthy-appearing tree may have significant defects in structure such
as extensive decay.
The entire tree was considered the most likely failure in 370 {59%) of the 630 surveyed.
trees. Branches were identified as the most likely failure in 240 (38%); an individual stem
in 20 {3%) trees. This pattern was largely the result of three factors: 1) the history of
pruning by the City which kept tree crowns and branches small, 2) 4he history of root
pruning for sidewalk and curb repair which both severed large roots and created large
wounds at the base of the trunk, and 3) overall poor health, most likely due to a
combination of cultural conditions, root decay and age.

The second step in risk assessment involves identifying the potential target(s) that might
be struck should a failure occur {Table 3, page 8) . Among the trees evaluated, street
parking (310 trees, 49%), the adjacent sidewalk (150 trees, 24%) and the tree lawn (95
trees, 15%) were the most common targets identified. This was not surprising, given tha4
most of the trees evaluated were located along city streets. Other potential targets
included a driveway, the street and traffic.
In assessing the risk associated with each tree, I evaluated each of the following three
factors on a scale from 1 to 4 (see page 3):
1. The potential that the tree or one of its parts will fail in the next two years.
If I thought the tree was in imminent danger of failing, it received a rating of 4. If
the potential was severe, the rating was 3; if moderate, 2 and if the failure
potential was low, the rating was 1.
2. The size of the tree or part that was most likely to fail.
A small branch c6" in diameter received a rating of 1 while a large tree of >30"
diameter received a rating of 4.
3. The target that would be impacted should a failure occur.
The potential for damage or injury was greatest if a tree failure would either hit a
house or fall into traffic. Such situations received a rating of 4. If the area
beneath the tree was a lawn, the likelihood that damage or injury would occur
was rated as t
Because each of the three factors could be scored from 1 to 4, the potential range of tree
risk ratings was 3 to 12 (Figure 1 page 8). Slightly over half (54%) of the trees evaluated
had ratings of 7 or lower. For trees with these low ratings, the most common situation
involved a branch as the most likely failure (note blue bars in Figure 1), with the target
being the sidewalk, lawn surrounding the planting area or an adjacent parking place.
Examples of trees with ratings of 7 or lower include #955 (Photo 1) and #707 (Photo
707).
In contrast, 98 trees (16%) were rated as 10 or greater. Situations with ratings of 10 or
above involved the entire tree (yellow bars in Figure 1) in close proximity to a highly rated
target such as parking or the traffic. For example, tree #792 (Photo 3) received a rating
of 10 based on its imminent potential to fail (rating of 4), the size of the stem that would
most likely fail (diameter>30", rating of 4) and the target that would be struck (the
adjacent driveway). Tree #1263 (Photo 5) received a rating of 11 due to its imminent
danger of failing (extensive decay at the base), its large size and the presence of parking
beneath the canopy.
In summary, the goal of rating the risk associated with each tree was to identify those
trees that pose the most significant danger to the public. As indicated in Figure1, there
were relatively few trees with ratings above 10. It is these trees that should be first
addressed in any action program.

Ill Summary and Recommendations
One of the goals of tree risk assessment is to enhance public safety. This is
accomplished by assessing the risk for damage or injury should a tree fail, then taking
action to abate that risk. Where large numbers of trees are involved, a rating system
such as used in this assessment may be employed. The greater the rating, the greater
4he risk associated with a tree.
For this assessment, trees rated '12' are considered more hazardous than those rated
'11', which are more hazardous that those rated '10', and so on. Any treatments to abate
the risk posed by trees in Santa Monica should logically start with those trees rated `12',
then proceed to those rated `11', then '10' and so forth. Ratings themselves do not define
wha4 action should be taken. Abatement procedures may include pruning, removal,
changing use around the tree and installation of support system. The process of
abatement will be initiated by the City's Public Landscape Division Department.
Our procedure focused on trees with observable defects. Failure of trees without defects
visible during a ground inspection may occur. During storm events wind forces can
exceed the strength of defect-free wood, causing branches to break and entire trees to
fall. In addition, trees may possess defects that are not visible during a routine
inspection. Some decay organisms may act on the below-ground parts of the tree and
cannot detected (Photo 6). Although we cannot predict all failures, identifying those trees
with observable defects is a critical component of enhancing public safety.
Photo 6. Tree #978 failed the day after it was inspected. Although the 20" diameter was
vigorous, almost all of the major roots were decayed, a defect that was not visible.
A large fraction of the surveyed trees were in poor condition, resulting from a variety of
reasons including age, the presence of decay, and a history of root pruning. As decay
degrades sound wood and weakens the tree's overall structure, the potential for the
entire tree to fail increases. The challenge to the City is to identify trees whose structure
has been compromised. Based on my findings, the presence of a wound or cavity alone
is insufficient to judge a tree as having high potential to fail. Additional factors must be
considered including:
1. Presence of fungal fruiting bodies. Fruiting bodies indicate extensive decay.
2. Tree lean and orientation. Trees with lean or bowed trunks are more likely to fail.
3. .Size and distribution of the crown. One-sided or asymmetric crowns are more
likely to fail.
4. Overall 4ree health and vigor. Vigorous trees are better able to tolerate decay
than non-vigorous ones.
Carob Assessment
City of Santa Monica
HortScience, Inc.
Page 11
Where one or more of the above factors is present or develops in conjunction with decay,
the potential for failure will be greater. City staff must address the continued
development of decay and increased failure potential by closely monitoring trees and
implementing a program of tree removal and replacement.
Based on my observations and assessment, I recommend the following:
1. Abate the risk posed by trees, following the priority established by the ratings.
Complete treatment of those trees with ratings of 12, followed by those with 11,
1Q 9, 8, etc: Record the nature and date of abatement.
2. City staff and the community's. tree care contractor should monitor trees for the
presence of defects such as changes in orientation and/or recen4 lean, presence
of cracks into the wood and/or between codominant stems, and the development
of fungal fruiting bodies (mushrooms and conks). See the Carob Assessment
Procedures list in the Attachments.
3. Incorporate the findings of tree performance into overall management of the
City's street and park tree resource:.
• Install carob only in locations with an 8' wide tree lawn or planting area.
• Develop a removal and replacement plan for streets with a large number of
problem trees. The best example is Franklin where several carobs have
failed, others have been removed and a number received high ratings.
• When purchasing new plants, specify high quality trees with good structure.
• Ensure that young trees (<10 years old) receive at least one structural
pruning following planting.
• Avoid creating large wounds when root pruning. Use alternatives to root
pruning when repairing sidewalks.
4. Plan to re-assess the trees within the next 3 years. Given the budget constraints
that City of Santa Monica faces, afollow-up assessment could focus on select
group of trees. For example, only 4hose trees with trunk diameters of 18" or
greater would be inspected.

Carob Assessment Procedures
Routine
Visual assessment of tree condition during normal work activities. Of particular concern:
• Declining vigor, particularly in density and color of foliage and dieback of twig and
branches.
• Changes in orientation, i.e., increased lean.
• Presence of fungal fruiting bodies, particularly Ganoderma sp.
Ganoderma fruiting structures. Right: old
G. applanatum. Beiow: new G. lucidum.
Seasonal (fall)
In addition to the above:
• Presence of fruiting bodies of
sulfur fungus (Laetiporus
sulfureous). Look for orange-
yellow conks on the lower trunk
and old wounds. Conks fade to
an ivory color with a chalky
consistency.
During pruning
Tree crew should be pertorming a visual assessment of branch attachment, particularly
resprouts, and root collar. Of particular concern:
• Dieback & decay at old pruning and root pruning wounds.
• Fruiting bodies of decay fungi (including sulfur fungus), at branches and base.
• Cracks in branches and in the face of wounds.
• Heavy lateral limbs.
• Uplifting of roots and/or mounding of soil at the base.
