Following root pruning, trees designated for transplanting shall be <br />watered for a period of five consecutive days following root pruning <br />and then every other day until moving. Such watering shall thoroughly <br />saturate the root ball to its full depth. <br />1.09 CROWN PREPARATION <br />A. Sabal Palms: <br />1. Cut off bottom fronds as necessary according to condition of <br />palm and time of moving <br />2. Cut off one or more unopened leaves on each side of tightly <br />closed center leaf. <br />3. Tie several fronds in upright position to unopened center leaves. <br />4. Tie remaining fronds together using untreated cotton twine or 2- <br />inch burlap strips. <br />NOTE: Another acceptable procedure is banding a length <br />or lengths of 2x4 lumber on trunk extending to 3/4 height of <br />unopened leaves and tying all fronds and unopened leaves to <br />lumber with untreated cotton twine. Adequate support shall be <br />given to the bud and opened leaves. <br />C. Cluster Type Palms: <br />1 . Wire against the palm trunk a piece of 2x4 lumber of sufficient <br />length to give adequate support to open and unopened leaves. <br />The lumber must also be long enough to extend upward from <br />where the bud emerges to within 3/4 of length of all leaves and <br />downward approximately the same distance from where it is <br />wired to trunk. <br />2. Tie fronds in upright position to lumber using untreated cotton <br />twine. <br />3. Trunks with little or no wood may have their fronds tied to <br />another trunk that is supported by wood. <br />D. Shade and Flowering Trees: <br />1. Minimal trimming to the canopy shall occur. In so doing, <br />preserve the basic shape and form of the tree; eliminate cross - <br />branching and dead or diseased branches. Wrap 6 layers of <br />burlapping around the trunk where nursery ties are to be placed. <br />2. Treat cut areas larger than one inch (1 ") diameter with approved <br />tree wound dressing only at Landscape Architect's direction. <br />3. Selected species shall have all leaves hand stripped following <br />pruning and prior to moving. <br />4. Trees moved with leaves intact shall be treated with spray <br />antidessicant according to manufacturer's recommendations and <br />upon Landscape Architect's direction prior to moving. <br />1 07/03 02481 -5 03- 4138.A <br />
