                                                                                [email protected]


Age class: is recorded as follows:

Age Class        Description
 Young            Trees which were propagated from seed or cutting within 5 years.
 Juvenile         Trees which could not be propagated within 5 years. Trees which have established
                  outside of the soil container volume, although does not currently represent a form
                  consistent of a mature specimen.
 Semi-mature      Trees 50% < 90% of the expected height/spread and form modified by the
                  growing environment.
 Mature           Trees which represent typical form and < 90% of the expected height/spread
                  modified by the growing environment.
 Over-mature      Trees which represent typical mature size which are no longer upwards or
                  outwards. Health is declining, and the crown is retrenching.
Useful Life Expectancy (ULE): Refers to the remaining life span until the benefits of the tree
are outweighed by the costs to safely keep it. ULE is recorded as follows:

ULE               Description
 Long             •   Trees of fair or good health which present typical of the species.
 (40+ yrs.)       •   Trees of high significance which could be retained with a maintenance regime.
                  •   Trees unrestricted by above- and below-ground constraints.
                  •   Trees growing within a favourable environment that will support a mature size.
 Medium           •   Trees which may live for longer than 40 years but could be replaced with a
 (15-40 yrs.)         more suitable species or superior specimen.
                  •   Trees which exhibit fair-to poor structure with defects that are generally
                      tolerated by the species.
                  •   Trees which require ongoing maintenance which could otherwise be replaced
                      with a specimen with the same environmental qualities and less maintenance.
                  •   Trees which are moderately restricted by their growing environment or will be
                      before reaching maturity.
 Short            •   Trees which may live for more than 15 years but should be removed due to
 (1-15 yrs.)          safety concerns due to poor structure and/or undesirable species.
                  •   Trees with weedy tendencies within site context.
                  •   Trees which present tolerable risk only with excessive or unsustainable
                      maintenance regimes.
                  •   Trees which exhibit defects generally known to cause pre-mature failure within
                      the species within 15 years.
                  •   Over-mature/senescent trees which are in irreversible decline.
                  •   Trees which are heavily restricted by their growing environment and will
                      disrupt services to a community or major service
 Remove           •   Hazardous due to very poor structure and/or unacceptable risk.
 (<1 yrs.)        •   The tree has the potential to cause significant environmental damage within
                      its local surrounds.
                  •   Trees which are widely allergenic or irritative and likely to cause serious injury
                      to the wider community.
                  •   Trees causing property damage which exceeds its environmental benefits to
                      the community.
Defects: Notable tree attributes that are considered unfavourable to tree health/structure and
may become hazardous.
Tree Significance: Tangible and intangible benefits that the tree provides to the landscape
and community.
