APPENDIX D - DEFINITIONS

1. Scalping – areas where the grass is mowed too close to the ground because of uneven ground underneath. When grass is mowed too close to the ground it frequently appears as an unsightly yellow scar. Typically scalping occurs when mowing on hill sides and around obstacles on uneven terrain.

2. Rutting – visible marks left on the grounds from the wheels of mowing and edging equipment.

3. Topping – The reduction of a tree’s size using heading cuts that shorten limbs or branches back to a predetermined crown limit. Topping is not an acceptable pruning practice.

4. Lion’s Tailing – The removal of an excessive number of inner, lateral branches from parent branches.

Lion’s tailing is not an acceptable pruning practice.

5. Types of Pruning:

a. Cleaning – Selective pruning to remove to remove one or more of the following parts: dead, diseased, and/or broken branches.

b. Thinning – Selective pruning to reduce density of live branches.

c. Raising – Selective pruning to provide vertical clearance.

d. Reduction – Selective pruning to decrease the height and/or spread.

6. Branch Bark Ridge – The raised area of bark in the branch crotch that marks where the branch and parent meet.

7. Caliper – The diameter of a tree measured at a point 6 inches above the ground line if the resulting measurement is no more than 4 inches. If the resulting measurement is more than 4 inches, the measurement is made at a point 12 inches above the ground line.

8. Diameter Breast Height (DBH) – The diameter of a tree measured at a point 4.5 feet above the ground line.

9. Trimming – Cutting of grass and other vegetation around grounds obstacles that prevent mowing.

10. Distinguished Visitor (DV) – Grass cutting in high profile areas of base such as ceremonial areas, ornamental areas, distinguished visitor routes, quarters and entrances.
