Tree Id #- 4 CU Address' 327 Adams Leedlon- E side of Adams Species- Acer Macrophyllum Fags Potential- 4 slzoet!WV 3 Target Eat* 4 Bawd 11 le leser Foliage color and density are normal. It has very poor pruning cuts (flush cuts) resulting in deep open decay cavities. Bark anatomy show cracks from flexing and twisting. It's still growing vigorously, which increases the weight it has to support. The resistograph testing of these trees showed damaged and dedcayed roots of the tree. /odaibWp Cases - The health of the tree has been degraded due to past pruning methods. e. g. flush cuts, imbalanced pruning including tip overloading, large mature limb removals, and tension wood scarring. Sidewalk repairs may have contributed to root injury and decay. Without root crown excavation and examination, we cannot determine the extent of damage and /or decay. - First or second year replacement for all 10 -11 -12 rated trees, or severe crown reduction, •saeandatiaee- cabling, shaping, balancing and correctional pruning techniques are strongly recommended as soon as possible. In the event that remove is not a possibility we would recommend heavy pruning, or referred to recommendation for minimum invasive hazard treatment. liece.mtioneter The option of reducing and cabling can be used as a possible short term delaying tactic when nom Mehl 6zr1 ireaMent- managing old decayed trees.Our recommendation for Minimum Invasive Hazard Treatments are 1) Cabling - -- This means structurally securing limbs, trunks, or scaffolds to other tree members for the purpose of stabilizing, holding together, and decreasing the potential for structural failure of the tree. On this project, we suggest the use of Cobra system cabling, (the most installed cabling system in Europe), because it is adjustable over time and can be reused. 2) Balancing Shaping, 3) Crown Reduction, and 4) Corrective Pruning.
