Problem #1
![Page 3: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problem #1
![Page 4: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Problem #1: Planting depth; tree planted too deep.
![Page 5: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An older tree, planted at the correct depth, should show some root flare.
Lacebark Elm
see Morton Arboretum

Problem #2
![Page 7: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problem #2: Two different plants planted too close together!

Problem #3
![Page 9: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problem #3
![Page 10: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Problem #3: When the retaining wall was constructed, soil was dumped around the base of the tree. This will reduce oxygen
availability to the root system and may also cause the trunk to rot.
orThe limestone base under the front walk
may slowly be raising the soil pH and causing a severe iron chlorosis problem.
River Birch is very sensitive to iron chlorosis.

Problem #4
![Page 12: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Problem #4: Wrong tree in the wrong place; this now mature
White Pine is too large a tree for a small, residential lot.

Problem #5
![Page 14: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Problem #5: Circling roots; when this tree was planted the “circling roots” issue was never addressed. Now that the tree has grown those roots have also increased in diameter and are
girdling the trunk. This is especially a problem if the tree was grown in a
hard, plastic container.

Problem #6
Green Ash
![Page 16: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Problem #6: Frost cracks; common on certain species of tree they can provide an entry point for disease-causing organisms; typically occur
on the south-southwest side of the trunk.

Problem #7
Crabapple
![Page 18: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Problem #7: Apple Scab; this fungal disease causes early defoliation.

Problem #8
![Page 20: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Problem #8: Fertilizer burn on a lawn; fertilizers are salts and their
over-application can burn a lawn or tender plant.

Problem #9
Green Ash Douglas-fir
![Page 22: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Problem #9: Freezing temperatures; this new growth was damaged by
freezing temperatures.

Problem #10
![Page 24: Can You Identify the Maintenance Issue?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56812bd0550346895d902e38/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Problem #10: Root suckers; Crabapples seem to produce a lot
of root suckers and if the Crabapple was grafted the suckers may have different colored leaves
than the rest of the plant.
