After establishment, fertilize as necessary to maintain a robust appearance and maximum flowering. After incorporating organic material and other supplements, the beds must be raked smooth and slightly mounded. Sticks clods and other material must be removed from the bed. During planting gently crush the root mass with the fingers to stimulate root growth in the surrounding soil. Begin planting in the center of the bed and keep traffic in the worked soil to a minimum. Make the hole slightly larger than the root ball and set the plant at the same depth or slightly higher than it was growing in the container. Smooth out the soil around the plants after planting, including footprints. Water plants to a depth of 5 inches immediately after planting for 4" plant material (deeper for larger pots). Plants are to be rotated four times a year and are to be kept disease free and healthy on a consistent basis. There must be no dead or missing plants at any time and the beds must be kept in a weed free condition. Plants will be in 4" pots and will be planted in an 8" triangular spacing pattern.

Careful study of these responses, has led to pruning practices, which best preserve and enhance the beauty, structural integrity, and functional values of trees. In an effort to promote practices, which encourage the preservation of tree structure and health, the following policies have been established. These specifications are presented as working guidelines, recognizing that trees are individually unique in form and structure, and that their pruning needs may not always fit strict rules. 1.01 OVERVIEW OF SPECIFICATIONS Any tree work performed in the City of Santa Ana Park and Recreation Facilities (SAPRF) must be done according to the SAPRF specifications. There are different criteria for pruning depending on the purpose for the pruning. a. Complete Prune Specifications are used when circumstances deem the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. b. Safety Prune Specifications require less pruning and are used when specific, possibly hazardous (dead/dying) limbs need removal to eliminate all safety concerns. Safety pruning may be recommended in some circumstances instead of a complete prune. Safety pruning specifications are used for "as needed" pruning as outlined above and address only safety concerns. Safety pruning includes only the basic requirements and does not include the fine pruning detail work outlined in a complete prune. c. Power Line Clearance Prune (PLC) Specifications are used for private tree power line clearance work and for street tree (PLC) pruning when the tree is pruned between its periodic complete pruning cycles. d. Palm Pruning Specifications are used when pruning any type of palm. All specifications are based on International Society of Arboriculture, National Arborist Association and American National Standards Institute criteria. This guarantees that SAPRF trees receive the best possible care. 1.02 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The following requirements shall be used during any pruning work to be performed on SAPRF trees: a. Proper disposal of all tree debris generated. b. Assuring good traffic control and minimize disruption of the public. Assuring adequate safety of employees and the public. Prior to starting any tree work on an SAPRF tree, the Contractor must contact an authorized SAPRF representative. Contact Mike Lopez, Park Services Superintendent at 714/571-4212 Office or 714/231-6112 cell phone. 1.03 CERTIFIED ARBORIST The Contractor shall employee a full-time, permanently certified arborist, as accredited by the International Society of Arboriculture. This person is responsible for ensuring that the Contractor's crews are performing work according to SAPRF specifications. 1.04 SPECIFIC TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS a. All persons performing tree work on SAPRF trees must be trained according to tree care standards accepted by the International Society of Arboriculture. b. All persons performing tree work on SAPRF trees in or around primary electrical lines must be trained to do so according to the "Electrical Safety Orders" of the State of California, including all amendments and revisions. When tree pruning cuts are made to a side limb, such remaining limb must possess a basal thickness of at least one third (1/3) of the diameter of the wound so affected. Such cuts shall be considered proper only when such remaining limb is vigorous enough to maintain adequate foliage to produce wood growth capable of callusing the pruning cut so affected within a reasonable amount of time. d. All final tree pruning cuts shall be made in such a manner so as to favor the earliest possible covering of the wound by natural callus growth. Flush cuts, which produce large wounds or weaken the tree at the cut, shall not be made. The branch collar shall not be removed. e. Tree limbs shall be removed and controlled in such a manner as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. f. All tools used on a tree known to contain an infectious tree disease shall be properly disinfected immediately before and after completing work on such tree. All major diseases and/or pest problems shall be promptly reported to an authorized SAPRF representative. g. All cutting tools and saws used in tree pruning shall be kept sharpened to result in final cuts with smooth wood surface and secure bark remaining intact. All trees six (6) inches in diameter or less shall be pruned with hand tools only. Chain saws will not be permitted on any trees six (6) inches in diameter or less. This is to prevent any unnecessary abrasions to cambial tissue that may predispose a tree to insect and/or disease problems. 2 h. Whenever pruning cuts are to be made, while removing limbs too large to hold securely in one hand during the cutting operation, the limbs shall be cut off first, one (1) to two (2) feet beyond the intended final cut. Then the final cut shall be made in a manner to prevent unnecessary tearing back of the bark and wood. Such cutting back shall not include the removal of any live, healthy limbs in excess of six (6) inches in diameter without prior approval from an authorized SAPRF representative. i. No more than twenty five (25) percent of the live wood may be removed from the crown of any tree, without approval of an authorized SAPRF representative, excepting live oaks, which are limited to no more than ten (10) percent. Resulting in keeping as much of the crown of the tree as possible. j. Any extraneous metal, wire, rubber or other material (i.e. stakes, ties) interfering with tree growth shall be removed immediately. k. Any defective or weakened trees shall be reported to an authorized SAPRF representative. Specifically, any structural weakness of a tree, decayed trunk or branches, shall be reported in writing, noting the location of the tree by street address and a description of the hazard found in the tree. 1. The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, except palms that are more than sixty-five (65) feet in height. in. Beneficial animal, bird nests, nesting cavities or other wildlife habitat shall be preserved and protected whenever feasible, unless doing so would create a hazard. 1.05 COMPLETE TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS Complete tree pruning shall consist of the total removal of dead or living branches that may threaten the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner as to: a. Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe public passage. Over street clearance shall be kept to a minimum of sixteen (16) feet above the paved surface of the street, fifteen (15) feet above the curb and eight (8) feet above the surface of a public sidewalk or pedestrian way. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. b. Remove all dead and dying branches and branch stubs that are one half (1/2) inch diameter or larger. c. Remove all broken or loose branches. d. Remove any live branches, which interfere with the tree's structural strength, and healthful development, which will include the following: 1) Branches, which rub and abrade a more important branch. 91 2) Branches of weak structure, which are not important to the framework of the tree. 3) Branches, which if allowed to grow, would wedge apart the junction of more important branches. 4) Branches forming multiple leaders in a single leader type tree. 5) Branches near the end of a limb, which will produce more weight or offer more resistance to wind than the limbs are likely to support. 6) Selective removal of undesirable sucker and sprout growth paying specific attention not to nick or damage the sprout "burl". 7) Selective removal of one or more developing leaders where multiple branch growth exists near the end of broken or stubbed limbs. 8) Selective removal of limbs obstructing buildings or other structures or traffic signs. Generally, limbs closer than five (5) feet to a building or other structure should be removed unless doing so would severely damage a tree. 9) Removal of branches, which project too far outward beyond an otherwise symmetrical form. e. Cut back ends of branches and reduce weight where excessive overburden appears likely to result in breakage of supporting limbs. f. Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of eight (8) feet above ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. g. Obtain a balanced appearance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately opposite the tree, unless authorized by an SAPRF representative to do otherwise. h. Remove all vines entwined in trees and on tree trunks. Vine tendrils shall be removed without injury to said trees. Clear all branches and foliage within ten (10) feet of primary electrical lines and three (3) to five (5) feet of secondary electrical lines. j. Clear all branches that interfere with telephone, cable and other utility lines within one (1) foot of lines, wherever feasible. C! 1.06 SAFETY TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS Safety tree pruning shall consist of the total removal of dead or living branches that may menace the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees.
