Trunk & Root Scans on a Historic Oak Tree in Washington, DC - Case Study
Courtesy of Tree Radar, Inc.
Results of Trunk Scans at Four Elevations:
“These results suggest that the decay becomes progressively more extensive near the base of the tree. The hollow sounding area, between 4:00 and 9:00 o'clock for all elevations, appears to be near-surface decay with the RSW between 0 to 3 inches.”
Results of Root Scans around the Trunk:
“The root density is fairly sparse in the back of the tree facing the wall. This is a down-hill slope and represents the compression side of the tree. This is also where trunk decay was found to be the most extensive and where the trunk vertical crack exists.”
Conclusions:
“This tree represents a potential risk hazard and should now be examined by a certified arborist to make a final assessment.”
