Other/Notes: Eastern Tree: Large wound present on eastern tree and continuing into branches, possibly caused by fire and resulting in a large cavity. Cavity has been filled with foam, a once common arboricultural practice which is now considered unnecessary in most situations, but which will not harm the tree. The canopy of the eastern tree is comprised of epicormic growth, with some being very large.
Western Tree: Good form and structure, with a slightly sparse canopy.
Structure Rating: 3 (Eastern Tree)
