Tree pruning
Trees to remain that are affected by temporary and permanent construction shall be pruned as indicated.
Damage Mitigation and Replacement
Promptly repair trees damaged by construction operations within 24 hours. Treat damaged trunks, limbs, and roots according to arborist’s written instructions. Remove and replace trees indicated to remain that die or are damaged during construction operations that the arborist determines are incapable of restoring to normal growth pattern.
Provide new trees of caliper size and species selected by the owner when damaged trees are
required to be replaced. Plant and maintain new trees as specified. Aerate surface soil, compacted during construction, 10 feet beyond the drip line and no closer than 36 inches to the tree trunk using vertical mulching techniques or radial aeration techniques as instructed by whichever city you live in.
Selecting Trees: Common Problems
Root problems, injuries, and form are common problems when buying trees. Keep this in mind, buy high-quality trees, and plant them properly. Poor tree quality will lead to maintenance problems even if the tree is properly cared for.
Root problems
Trees for sale have one of two root treatments:
• Root-balled stock: roots in the soil are held in place by fabric or in a wire basket. The basal trunk flare should be visible and the root ball should be flat on top. The tree should not have many crushed or torn roots. The root ball diameter should be at least 10-12 times the trunk diameter measured 6 inches above the trunk flare.
• Container-grown stock. Roots should not circle in the container, and the trunk flare should be obvious, not buried.
We will continue this series over the next few months covering a wide array of topics. Don’t forget, when you’re looking for the best tree care company in Pasco, we’d love the chance to earn your business.
