Multi-stem plants are measured at the widest point of all trunks, six inches up from the ground for trees under four inch caliper, and twelve inches from the ground for trees over four inch caliper.

Classification and Ordering of

Plants

For the purposes of pruning, trimming, planting, or removal, specific plants shall be identified according to their type and application as specified in the American Horticulture Society Encyclopedia of Garden Plants (latest edition), D.K.

Publishing under ISBN-0-7894-1943-2. Example: A Red Tip Photinia bush which is 15' tall will be classified as a shrub.

Clipping Any vegetation that is left on paved surfaces, lawns, and plant beds after being cut by means of shears, mowers, etc.

Debris Includes, but is not limited to, paper, cans, bottles, limbs and branches, pine straw and pinecones, leaves, rocks, and other similar items.

Diameter at Breast Height

The diameter of a tree measured at 4½ feet above ground level.

Maximum Growth Height

That limit of dominant vegetative growth, excluding seed heads or pods.

Pruning

The selective removal of unwanted growth to restore a plant or tree to its natural symmetry and appearance. Pruning involves selection and judgment, and does not include the practice of cutting off all branches to an even length. This may include re-sculpting, changing the size, or any other form of work that directly affects the look and growth pattern of the plant.

Rejuvenation The severe pruning of overgrown bushes, shrubs and hedges to within a few inches of the ground or as directed by the KO to restore the plant to its natural shape.

Shrub A woody perennial plant generally smaller than a tree, usually having many permanent stems branching from or near the ground, and does not have a definite crown shape. Shrubs may be deciduous or evergreen, and in the area covered by this contract, may be very large in height and width.

Sightly Attractive, tasteful, or pleasing to the sight and consistent with its intended purpose.

Special Event Services that could not reasonably have been anticipated and were not contemplated at time of contract award.

Stump The bottom portion of a tree, which remains in the ground after the tree, has been cut for removal. Usually less than five feet in height.

Tree A perennial woody plant having a permanent self-supporting single stem or multiple stems. Ordinarily grows higher than ten feet, and usually develops branches at some distance above the ground with a definite crown shape.

Trimming

Removal of unwanted vegetation around trees, shrubs, flower and shrub beds, cultivated areas, poles, walls, valves, and other similar objects to match the height and appearance of the surrounding grass. Shrub and hedge trimming includes removal of unwanted vegetation to maintain a uniform, and well-shaped appearance, and to prevent interference with pedestrians, vehicle traffic and building encroachment.

Trunk The main stem of a tree, usually long, large and relatively straight.
