Trees, palms, and large shrubs shall be properly handled during moving <br />so trunks will not be scarred or damaged and to avoid broken limbs. <br />Broken limbs or scarred /damaged trunks shall cause plant to be <br />unacceptable and rejected at Landscape Architect's option. Broken <br />limbs and wounds which do not (in the Landscape Architect's <br />judgment) cause the tree to be rejected shall be repaired under the <br />following guidelines: <br />1. Properly prune dead, dying, or damaged branches with clean, <br />sharp equipment. <br />2. Remove injured bark and wood of a tree wound with a clean, <br />sharp knife to a point where healthy bark and wood make <br />contact at their margins. <br />3. Inspect and treat wounds for insect and disease. <br />4. Seal wounds with bituminous base wound paint only at <br />Landscape Architect's direction. <br />B. Transport plant material on vehicles of adequate size to prevent <br />overcrowding, broken limbs, foliage damage or root ball damage. <br />C. Root ball should be kept moist during all phases of relocation. <br />D. Root ball sizes for small and medium shrubs shall be 1/3 larger than <br />nursery grown stock of the same size and species. Ensure root ball is <br />solid and remains intact. <br />E. Tree and palm crowns shall be protected with shade cloth to prevent <br />desiccation and wind burn. Crowns shall be periodically sprayed with <br />water to help ensure against desiccation. <br />F. Groundcovers designated as divisions will consist of healthy offshoots <br />with adequate root mass to ensure successful transplant. <br />1 07/03 02481 -6 03- 4138.A <br />
