This ta bfe contains tree population and population percentages, caunt of <br /> reguidt�ti and heriiage "trees and suitability for preservation ratings <br /> The assessed trees were evaluated tor structure, health and overall condition. Table 2- <br /> Evaluation Factors for Determining Overall Tree Condition defines the characteristics for <br /> each rating. <br /> In addition, assessed trees were rated as ta suitabifity�or preservation. Table 3-Suitability <br /> Factors for Tree Preservation explains the method af the rating system. Suitability for <br /> preservation is especially valuable wher� used a5 a design component by architects and <br /> planners. This qualitative tree data are contributing factors when deciding the cast- <br /> efFectiveness and the reasonableness of wheth�r to accommodate a tree by design. It <br /> is important to note that na tree was obsenred ta be highly suitable for preservation. <br /> All recorded tree data including, tree tag number, tree identification,trUnk <br /> measurement, overall condition, regulated or Heritage tree status, remove or preserve <br /> status, suitability rating, observations and recommendatians are contained in Table 4- <br /> Tree Assessmerrt Chart. <br /> Tree Preservafion Issues by Species <br /> The yucca plants,two by the former restaurant.
