10+

Use this assessment template to investigate failing or failed young trees at the time of removal. Capture site details, identification method, and photographs. Evaluate tree health indicators such as leaf size, deformation, discoloration, shoot growth, dieback, and bark condition. Check for pests and diseases including aphids, scale, sooty mold, lace bug, psyllid, and other issues. Record environmental factors like road works, construction, compaction, resident issues, and vehicle damage. Perform soil testing for moisture, type, and pH, and assess drainage. Inspect root structure for socketing, girdling, J roots, excessive pruning, and planting depth. Review maintenance visits and watering history, then summarize findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
