<br />Tree Inventory & Assessment Table
<br />#s: Each tree was given a square metal tag with numbers ranging from #94-269, not all numbers
<br />within that sequence are used. Their locations are given in the Tree Preservation Plan.
<br />
<br />DBH (Diameter at Breast Height): Trunk diameters in inches were measured at 4.5’ above average
<br />grade with a diameter tape. Height of measurement may deviate from the standard on atypical
<br />trunks; deviations are noted under the “Comments” section.
<br />
<br />Height: The height of each tree was visually estimated.
<br />H (Heritage): An X denotes that the tree is considered a “Heritage” tree per city ordinance.
<br />
<br />Health Rating
<br />Dead: Dead or declining past chance of recovery.
<br />Poor (P): Stunted or declining canopy, sparsely foliated with poor foliar color. Possible disease or
<br />insect issues. Unreliable specimen for preservation. Would require significant maintenance, and a
<br />protection zone well beyond the dripline in order to retain. Acceptable to leave for nature if not a
<br />threat to property.
<br />Fair (F): Fair to moderate vigor, typical for the species. Will require an adequate protection zone,
<br />and supplemental maintenance such as: crown cleaning of mistletoe, dead, broken, or diseased
<br />branches. Additional maintenance such as fertilizing, soil aeration, and mulching may be
<br />recommended to improve vigor.
<br />Good (G): Good vigor and color, with no obvious problems or defects. Generally more resilient to
<br />impacts. Minor maintenance may be recommended.
<br />Very Good (VG): Exceptional specimen with excellent vigor and structure. Unusually nice.
<br />
<br />Structure Rating
<br />Poor (P): Exhibiting defects such as weak attachments, extensive decay, large deadwood, root
<br />defects, leans, cracks or cavities that may threaten existing or future targets. May or may not be
<br />correctable with pruning, cabling or bracing.
<br />Fair (F): Minor correctable defects, may or may not have a target. Should receive maintenance as
<br />recommended.
<br />Good (G): Well structured with no significant or obvious defects.
<br />
<br />Dripline: Canopy radius (in feet) was visually estimated in each cardinal direction.
<br />
<br />Age
<br />Young (Y): Within the first 20% of expected life span. High resiliency to encroachment.
<br />Mature (M): Between 20% - 80% of expected life span. Moderate resiliency to encroachment.
<br />Overmature (OM): In >80% of expected life span. Low resiliency to encroachment.
<br />
<br />DE: Dripline Encroachment (X indicates encroachment)
<br />CI: Anticipated Construction Impact (L = Low, M = Moderate, H = High)
<br />
