Davey Resource Group, Inc. Tree Inventory Analysis & Maintenance Strategy Page v Recommended Maintenance Tree Removal Trees designated for removal have defects that cannot be cost-effectively or practically corrected. Many of the trees in this category have a large percentage of dead crown. Total = 4,602 trees Poor Condition = 636 trees Dead = 101 trees *3 trees within the data set provided to DRG were not assigned a condition rating Priority Pruning Priority pruning removes defects such as dead and dying parts or broken and/or hanging branches. Pruning the defective part(s) can lower risk associated with the tree while promoting healthy growth. Total = 0 trees Routine Pruning Cycle Over time, routine pruning of Low Risk trees can minimize reactive maintenance, limit instances of elevated risk, and provide the basis for a robust risk management program. Total = 3,862 trees Number of trees in cycle each year = approximately 772 New Tree Planting Planting new trees in areas that have poor canopy continuity or sparse canopy is important to ensure that tree benefits are distributed evenly across the city. Planting goal: 2:1 replacement to removal ratio Young Tree Training Cycle Younger trees may have branch structure that can lead to potential problems as the tree ages, requiring training to ensure healthy growth. Training is generally completed from the ground with a pole pruner or pruning shear. Total = 957 trees Number of trees in cycle each year = approximately 319 Routine Inspection & Inventory Updates Routine inspections and inventory updates are essential to uncovering potential problems with trees and should be performed by a qualified arborist who is trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and maintaining individual trees. Total = 3,862 trees not recommended for removal Number of trees in cycle each year = approximately 772 12
