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.

Record client and site details, tree location, species, estimated height and crown radius, and select age class from young to over-mature.

Check proximity to dwellings and whether stump grinding is required. Add a final assessment, recommended remedial measures, and whether a Tree Preservation Order is needed.
