PREP LIST
• Neglect preventive pruning to
remove unhealthy or dangerous
limbs and allow air to flow more
easily through branches
• Forget to mulch properly to
protect, not smother the root collar
• Provide supplemental nutrition on
sites where natural mineral recycling
does not occur
• Cable and brace weak branches
and limbs for added strength
and support
• Look for structural weaknesses
such as cavities decay or fungi,
which could be signs that the tree
might need removed or replaced
