I am seeking advice. I have been asked to evaluate and give a recomendation. A fire had gotten out of control and it burned a fair amount of tree farm trees Live oaks from 6 to 10 in dbh, in the ground plantings for the final three year phase. I have seen the burn site and know that they can and do survive fire but this is a rather special case an I am trying to help the ins adjuster come to a reasonable loss quote. I know the fire boiled the sap in many and they will die or not perform to growing standards.
So here is my question's is there a formula for survival rates in light of fires? Or at what point or Percentage of crown die back would one consider a total loss?
I am talking a few hundred so the potential payout is rather large as it will be at market value per tree.
I am some what leary in calling x# trees lost as it happens to be fall for them here.
Any words of wisdom or ISA cert arborists willing to look and base findings in writing as to amount lost vs damaged? north Fl, Georgia?
