Trees near the Children's Founlain in lhe Town of Vail
Dear Mr. Oppenheimer:
At your request, on 28 September 2005 | evaluated several blue spruce and aspen trees
currently in a north-south array, east of the Ghildren's Fountain in Vail. The primary purpose of the
assignment was to determine lhe struclural stability and overall condition oI the trees with respect to the
planler area or growing environment they are in. The following is a summary of the evaluation, with
recommendations.
Salient Features, Observations and Recommendations
1 . Four blue spruce and one aspen are growing in a north-south array in an elevated planter easl of
the Children's Fountain. The general planter area is bound by a2.5to 3.5 foot high stone wall at the west
and north sides, and a 3.5 to 5.0 foot high earthen / stucco wall at the east side.
2. Moving from north to south, the first blue spruce is 16 inches in diameter and the planter area is
approximately 11.5 teet in width at this point. The second blue spruce is 12 inches in diameter and the
planter area is approximalely 10 feet in width at this point. The third blue spruce is 13 inches in diameter
and the planler area is approximately 8 feet in width at this point. The fourth blue spruce is 13 inches in
diameter and the planrer area is approximately 7.5 feet in width at lhis point.
3. The east side wall is not a struclural wall, and currently is cracking in several locations. Failure of
the wall, at least in part, probably is a result ol pressure applied by lree rools and associated soil. As the
trees grow in size (i.e., diameter, heighl, root system), an increasing percentage of the original soil volume
in the planter area is occupied by an ever-expanding and massive rool syslem of the subject rrees. The
wall inevilably will conlinue to deteriorate. Repairing the wall will resuh in significanl injury to the trees, root
systerns, and could accelerate root decay, resulting in hazardous trees.

Re:
Fleport to he Town of Vail, @ tom Day & Associab*l 0.4.05
4. Over the past few years, lhe wesl side of the planter area has experiencd construction activity,
rototilling and trenching for a variety of reasons. As a result, the trees' roots have been cut, ripped, or
otherwise injured on numerous occasions. This type of wounding leads to root decay, which is insidious
and €n undermine the structural stability ol lhe trees. The presence of numerous wood decay
mushrooms (fungus fruiting bodies) in the planter indicates rool rot; however, the full extent of such rot
cannot be determined without extensive excavalion of ihe planter area.
5. A combinalion of: i) rool decay, ii) limited root growing area, iii) past rool injury from conslruclion /
trenching activities, iv) tree height (-55 to 60 feet), and v) prevailing winds from the west, all add up to a
precarious scenario with these trees. Although the trees generally are in good condition, the probability
of failure from windthrow is very high. As such, should failure occur, resulting in property danage or
personal injury, the associated liability is considerable.
6' The problems described above cannot be mitigated. The dimensions of the planler area are
fixe#-the trees have oulgrown the limited volume of the planter area. In a sense, lhey are fast becoming
'pot-bound'. Crown reduction (essentially topping the trees) would result in permanent disfigurement and
decline. Guying the trees with cables and ground anchors can be done; however, the location of
[concrele] anchors and steel cables would be visually intrusive, and clearly dangerous to vehicles and
pedestrians.
7. I strongly recommend all five trees (foui spruce, one aspen) in the subject planter area be
completely removed. Replanting should involve smaller growing species of trees and/or shrubs suitable
to a highly exposed, limited growing area.
Addendum
1 ' Two aspens al the southeasr corner of the Creekside building are currently in a relatively 'tight'
phnler area. lf the soil area lo the west of the trees is disturbed (i.e., cut, grade ahered, or related), then
the trees inevitably will die back, decline, and eventually die. During the decline stage, the trees also will
represent a windthrow hazard. One lree already exhibils canker disease and associaled dieback of
branches. lf soil disturbance occurs as proposed, I recommend removing the lrees. Otherwise, they will
become a liability.
lf you have any quesiions or need clarification of any portion of this report, please let me know.
