Damage in some areas and is well adapted to the location so we ask you to uphold the departments decision you is this tree still on the recommendation of trees to be planted. Yes. Because it does well in 9 months climatic conditions in San Francisco. Careful. How old is this tree its the tree and the height has been restricted not in a way thats riveting be based on the trunk size and again, this is a educated guess i dont know generally like to do this by around thirty years old. Was this tree planned by the city or by private individuals. Based on our reports this was planned by a private individual. Okay. Thank you any Public Comment on that item .

The city staff do thin and prune the canopy of the tre
