 Tree / Palm                      •   Monitoring / adjusting the irrigation system or watering regime in liaison
 Transplanting                        with the Landscape Contractor, water if required
                                  •   Test, rectify and adjust the watering regimes or water manually regularly as
                                      necessary to maintain optimum soil moisture levels in all areas
                                  •   Spray for pests and disease infestations when the pest and fungal attack
                                      has been identified
                                  •   Apply fertilize once root growth & water uptake has begun
                                  •   Wrap trunk/branch to prevent sun scald if necessary due to leaf loss >40%
                                  •   Prune dieback
                                  •   Top up soil and mulch
                                  •   For thin or smooth bark trees, if more than 40% of the foliage is shed due
                                      to post-transplant stress then the trunk and branches (greater than 50mm
                                      diameter) are to be wrapped with light coloured biodegradable paper or
                                      hessian to reduce bark scalding. Wrap from the bottom of the trunk
                                      upwards so the layers overlap and thus shed water.
                                  •   Organise soil testing
                                  •   Adjust and/or replace stakes and ties monthly. Remove staking and visible

                                  •   The uses of synthetic, granular blended fertilisers on the site are not
                                      permitted. Slow release organic tree tablets shall be used at establishment.

                                      has been identified
                                  •   Replace failed plans immediately
