Survival Percentages

For a successful tree or shrub planting, it is required that 75 percent of all trees or shrubs planted survive as inventoried after "leaf out" during spring or summer of the second year.

Maintenance and Management

Replant dead plant materials the second and third years after installation. Monitor the site and control competing herbaceous vegetation around new plantings. When using fabric mulch, control competing vegetation an additional foot around the fabric mulch by either chemical or mechanical methods. With chemical control, care must be taken to avoid chemical contact with leaf, stem, and bark of planted stock. Inspect plantings frequently for signs of animal damage and adjust protection accordingly.
