Tree Assessment and Risk Management Certified Arborist Training
TREES HAVE VALUE!! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Tree Assessment and Risk Management
The value comes at a “price”, however.  There are  risks  associated when trees are in areas used by people and their “things” (targets).  Risk assessment  includes the potential of a tree to fall, the environment that may contribute to its failure, and the potential  target . Evaluating trees for their potential to fail is a component of  risk management . Tree Assessment and Risk Management TREES HAVE VALUE!!
TORT LAW  – A “tort” is a civil wrong; more commonly stated, a non-criminal harm (wrong) done to persons or property.  Tort can result from an intentional act (assault, battery, libel) OR may be unintentional (e.g., negligence) NEGLIGENCE   – A person is negligent when he or she fails to act as a reasonably prudent person under the circumstances.  Ignorance or stupidity are not excuses for dangerous or inappropriate behavior. Tree Assessment and Risk Management RISK AND  LIABILITY

Basic Tree Biology 90-95% of a Tree’s Root System is located in the Top 3 Feet of Soil! 3 ft 1 ft Even though the tree may be left standing (for now) major trauma to these roots will kill the tree!  Roots can grow to twice the height! Tree Assessment and Risk Management 50% of a Tree’s Root System is located in the Top 1 Foot of Soil!!!! These are mostly the absorbing roots that provide WATER and NUTRIENTS
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Tree Assessment and Risk Management Basic Tree Biology
As a general rule, the Critical Root Zone should extend at least to the drip line of a tree. If the CRZ cannot be protected… Disturbance may come as close as 5X the diameter of the protected tree on ONLY ONE SIDE!!  5X…then protect the rest!! Tree Assessment and Risk Management
Trees grow as if they are actually  trees within a tree .  Each year’s growth covers and surrounds the previous year’s tissue.  If a wound occurs, the tree responds by trying to wall off, or compartmentalize, the wounded area.  The tissue from each new year of growth will cover the old wound and remain unaffected, as long as rot or  decay  does not move into the new tissue.  If compartmentalization is effective, the new tissue remains healthy and the old wound is “walled off” or sealed behind the new tissue.  (e.g., a hollow tree with sound wood around the hollow.) Tree Assessment and Risk Management Tree Wounding

NOT NEGOTIABLE!  Dead wood is unpredictable and should be removed as soon as possible.  Dead wood is brittle. Dead Wood Tree Assessment and Risk Management
A separation of the wood, a fissure or deep split in the bark and wood. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Cracks HIGH FAILURE POTENTIAL A crack goes completely through the stem or branch. Stem has two cracks on the same segment with a cavity or extensive decay. Stem has crack with another defect (lean, weak branch, etc.).
MODERATE FAILURE POTENTIAL Hardwood stem has one crack that has inrolled bark and the internal cylinder of wood is gone or decayed. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Cracks
A fork in the stem or union of two or more main branches.  Co-dominant stems … U-SHAPED V-SHAPED Tree Assessment and Risk Management Weak Branch Unions
HIGH FAILURE POTENTIAL A weak  branch   union  that is also cracked or decayed. A weak union in a tree’s hot spot. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Weak Branch Unions
MODERATE FAILURE POTENTIAL A weak union with  included bark  at the branch bark ridge Tree Assessment and Risk Management Weak Branch Unions
Wood that is rotted or missing (visible  cavities ).  Decay always results in less structural strength and stability. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Decay
Injury occurs. Fungi enters the wound and begins to discolor the wood as rot begins. As years pass, the rot column grows in height, but is also covered by new layers of wood from each years new “ring” (tree in a tree). The process continues. After many years of growth, the result is a visible trunk wound with an internal rot column behind it. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Decay
Tree Assessment and Risk Management
Internal Hollow Exposed  Cavity Tree Assessment and Risk Management
If shell thickness is less than 1/3 of the stem radius, then the tree is unsafe. Tree Assessment and Risk Management
An area of dead bark and cambium anywhere on the tree, often affecting the wood beneath it. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Cankers
Problems serious enough to warrant correction are partial windthrow (leaning with mounding, missing roots, and extensive root rot. Problems may be hidden underground. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Root Problems

MOWER DAMAGE Tree Assessment and Risk Management Prevention and Correction ( Mitigation )
Consider fencing off hazard trees if removal is not a “popular” option. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Prevention and Correction ( Mitigation )
Performing an  INVENTORY  of trees on property you manage can be the best preventive step you can take!! Tree Assessment and Risk Management Prevention and Correction ( Mitigation )
Inventories can provide you with data about the number of hazard trees you have. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Prevention and Correction ( Mitigation )

  • 33. Wood that is rotted or missing (visible cavities ). Decay always results in less structural strength and stability. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Decay
  • 34. Injury occurs. Fungi enters the wound and begins to discolor the wood as rot begins. As years pass, the rot column grows in height, but is also covered by new layers of wood from each years new “ring” (tree in a tree). The process continues. After many years of growth, the result is a visible trunk wound with an internal rot column behind it. Tree Assessment and Risk Management Decay
