2.1.1 VTA Limitations:
This report is comprised of information collected from a ground based Visual Tree
Assessment (VTA). Unless stated otherwise; No trunk decay detection equipment,
destructive testing or ground penetrating radar was used as part of this Arboricultural
Appraisal, therefore no conclusive comments on what may have or may be happening within
the internal structure of the tree or the tree’s roots will be made without such further
investigation. No tissue or soil samples have been collected or submitted for testing. All
data is based on visual inspection of the tree/s and its/their location, species, health and
condition at the time of inspection unless otherwise stated.

The information contained in this report is based on a ‘snapshot in time’ of each specific
tree’s health and condition at the time of the inspection and no guarantee can be given that
faults or issues may not arise in the future. Further investigation may be required or be
performed as recommended by this report, and or at the request of client to further support
decision making.
