§ 60.214. Compensatory Pruning.


Latest version.
  • The Parks Official shall be authorized to require pruning of the crown of any protected tree, where he or she finds that such pruning is essential to compensate for stress placed upon the tree by the encroachment. The Parks Official shall specify the proportionate amount of the required pruning. The crown must be pruned by removing lateral branching and trimming, rather than topping. All pruning practices shall conform to the National Arborist's Association Standards for Trees.
