Evaluation 2 Evaluation Date: 22 Oct, 2008. Evaluators: Gary Smith and Leanne Gillies. Committee Summary: Only one tree in this planting is alive and healthy enough to be considered a successful street tree. All have died from the top down, which is generally indicative of a lack of water. Maintenance Requirements: Remove and replace.

Evaluation 1 Evaluation Date: 27 Oct, 2004. Evaluators: Nick Archer, Paul Goodison. Committee Summary: Although only a recent planting, these trees had demonstrated rapid establishment rates in difficult soils. Very little trunk heave was noted when pressure was applied indicating an active root system. Formative pruning will be required though if structural stability is to be attained. Container Size: Unknown. Estimated 45 Litre. Planting Date: 2003. Management Inputs: Unclear. Presumably limited to summer irrigation. Maintenance Requirements: Irrigation during establishment. Mulch would be beneficial. Weed control. Formative pruning will also be required.
