F-6 Exhibit 6 Tree Illustrations for Girdling.pdf

This document is an Exhibit containing detailed tree treatment illustrations (Exhibit 6) showing two methods of girdling trees at different height ranges. Illustration 2A demonstrates girdling at the base of trees in height ranges of 50-55, 60-65, 70-75, and 80-85 feet, with instructions to remove all live branches below the girdle. Illustration 2B shows girdling at the top of trees in the same height ranges, with a recommendation to remove all or most live branches below the girdle. For trees with 10-14" diameter at breast height (DBH), the instructions specify removing all live limbs below the girdle for 10 feet. The illustrations provide technical guidance for precise tree treatment techniques, focusing on specific girdling approaches at different tree heights and trunk sizes.
