Roots and soil may be removed during the correction process; substrate/soil shall be replaced after correction has been completed. 3.Trees shall meet root observations detail following correction. 4.Small roots (1/4" or less) on the periphery of the root ball are common with container plant production. These small roots are not defined as "defects" and can be addressed at the time of installation (See root ball shaving container detail). Tree planted too deeply in root ball. Remove excess substrate and roots to meet root inspection detail. Step 1 - Remove substrate over root collar. Step 2 - Remove defects. Structural (large) roots shown in black. Remove structural roots (white) growing over structural roots, or wrapping root collar by cutting them just before they make an abrupt turn. Cut structural root just before it makes abrupt turn. Pruning cut should be made tangent (parallel) to the trunk. Remove excess substrate/soil Remove excess roots New rootball surface Root collar Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Rootball periphery Tree planted too deeply in root ball. Remove excess soil and roots to meet root inspection detail. Notes: 1.All trees shown are rejectable unless they undergo recommended correction. 2.First step 1, then step 2. Adjust hole depth to allow for the removal of excess soil and roots over the root collar. 3.Roots and soil may be removed during the correction process; substrate/soil shall be replaced after the correction has been completed. 4.Trees shall pass root observations detail following correction. Step 1 - Remove soil and roots over the root collar. Step 2 - Remove defects. Remove structural roots (4 shown in black) deflected on root ball periphery. Small roots (14" or less) at the periphery of the root ball are not defined as defects and do not need to be removed. 3 L500 1" = 1'-0" Root Correction - Balled and Burlapped Structural (large) roots shown in black.

Structural roots primarily grow to one side.Structural roots missing from one side, and/or grow tangent to trunk. Structural roots circle interior of root ball. No structural roots are horizontal and reach the root ball periphery near the top of the root ball. Structural roots descend into root ball interior. No structural roots are horizontal and reach the root ball periphery near the top of the root ball. Only absorbing roots reach the periphery near the top of the root ball. Structural roots mostly wrap or are deflected on the root ball interior.0-2"The point where top-most root(s) emerges from the trunk (root collar) should be within the top 2" of substrate. The root collar and the root ball interior should be free of defects including circling, kinked, ascending, and stem girdling roots. Structural roots shall reach the periphery near the top of the root ball. Structural roots circle and do not radiate from the trunk. Notes: 1.Observations of roots shall occur prior to acceptance. Roots and soil may be removed during the observation process; substrate/soil shall be replaced after the observations have been completed. 2.See specifications for observation process and requirements.

Notes: 1.Observations of roots shall occur prior to acceptance. Roots and substrate may be removed during the observation process; substrate/soil shall be replaced after observation has been completed. 2.Small roots (14" or less) that grow around, up, or down the root ball periphery are considered a normal condition in container production and are acceptable however they should be eliminated at the time of planting. Roots on the periphery can be removed at the time of planting.

Shave root ball here to remove all roots growing on periphery. Shave outer periphery of the root ball a maximum of 2" thick. Root tips exposed at periphery of root ball. All roots growing around periphery are removed. Before planting, tree has three co-dominant stems. The two that compete with the one in the center should be pruned to suppress their growth. Two competing stems were reduced substantially, in this case removing about 70% of their foliage using reduction cuts. After pruning, tree has only one dominant stem. Notes: 1.All trees shown are rejectable unless they undergo recommended treatment. 2.Tree shall meet crown observation detail following correction. 3.Prune tree to remove dead or damaged limbs and branches 9 L500 1/2" = 1'-0" Crown Correction Detail CONTACT: HAMPTON UZZELLECELL: 520.975.6713EMAIL: HAMPTON@VERDANTMT.COMSRX-IIProvidence DevelopmentBozeman, MTISSUEDATE#PRELIMINARY PLAT08/19/2024PRELIMINARY PLAT-2ND SUB11/01/2024PRELIMINARY PLAT-3RD SUB02/06/2025LANDSCAPE DETAILS L500
