2.04 PRUNING AND LIMB SUPPORT

A. Verify special protection instructions, clearance and pruning requirements with VTA's
Authorized Representative prior to beginning work.

B. Prune existing trees identified to remain on only at the direction of the VTA's Authorized
Representative, except broken or damaged growth.

1. Make all pruning cuts to lateral branches or buds or to the edge of the branch collar.
"Stubbing" will not be permitted. Where pruning is required due to close proximity of
new structures, carefully select branches to be removed. Do not prune branches only
to accommodate construction. Review with the VTA per Article 2.01.

2. Prune trees to select and develop permanent scaffold branches that are smaller in
diameter than the trunk or branch which they are attached, which have vertical
spacing of from 18" to 48" and radial orientation so as not to overlay one another; to
eliminate diseased or damaged growth; to eliminate narrow V-shaped branch forks
that lack strength; to reduce toppling and wind damage by thinning out crowns; to
maintain growth within space limitations; to maintain a natural appearance; and to
balance crown with roots; do not top trees. Do not strip lower branches of trees.
Remove all suckering growth.

3. Thin and shape evergreen trees when necessary to prevent wind and storm damage.
Do primary pruning of deciduous trees during the dormant season. Prune damaged
trees or those that constitute health or safety hazards at any time of the year as
required eliminating these conditions.

C. Where required for structural stability, provide cable supports between limbs.

thereto) and other plant diseases, as well as compliance with any county-specific plant
disease requirements. The term disease is not restricted to those caused by Contractor, but
to any disease in trees which the Contractor has control over in the execution of the Work.

2.06 MAINTENANCE

A. Continuously maintain all trees to remain identified in this contract during the progress of
the Work.

B. Final inspection for acceptance of maintenance will be made at the conclusion of the
