URBAN FORESTRY AUSTRALIA - TREE MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING ARBORICULTURISTSTreeNo.Botanic & CommonName108 Ficus microcarpaSmall-fruited Fig*Hht(m)*Sp(m)*DBH(mm)9 16 970AB.Age *H *C Comments *SULE *LSR *RV *TPZOpt. &Min.MFairtoGood- Dominant tree in group. Extensive, exposed surface roots. Recent pruning <strong>of</strong> lower branches.Included junction <strong>of</strong> co-dominant stems, may require cabling. Large decay pocket in stem to east.Good canopy cover, even distribution. Extensive epicormics throughout scaffolds.Investigate requirement for cabling, in regard to potential removal <strong>of</strong> T107. Remove rubbingbranches. Remove deadwood >30mm Ø. Place coarse, free-draining soil between roots (not toexceed 150mm depth). Mulch root zone (min. 5m radius). Monitor.H 11.69.7109 Ficus rubiginosaPort Jackson Fig110 Ficus rubiginosaPort Jackson Fig9 10 650 M Fair - Previously topped at 4 - 5 metres AGL, resultant congested multi stems. Two large diameter tearoutson east side. Minor decay pockets in stem. Minor deadwood and dieback. Minor epicormics.Aerial inspection advised. Remove crossing/rubbing branches. Reduce loading on larger includedscaffolds, branch heading north. Highly compacted soil. Mulch root zone (min. 3.5m radius).Monitor.7 6 600 OM Poor Poor High landscape significance as group, low as individual specimen. Advanced decline. Heavilytopped. Roots cut and damaged.

Epicormics throughout canopy, large(older) and small (recent). Epicormics probably a reaction to root damage. Large old wound atbase on north side, extent <strong>of</strong> decay not known. Vertical ‘inclusions’ in fluted stem, typical <strong>of</strong>species. Major stem junctions not included. Previous pruning <strong>of</strong> damaged branches noted.Resistograph® test required to determine extent <strong>of</strong> decay. If retained remove larger diameterepicormics w/poor attachments. Mulch root zone (min. 5m radius). Monitor.H 12.710.6112 Ficus rubiginosaPort Jackson Fig9 10 900ABLM Poor - Very compacted soil, located next to bus stop. Extensive epicormics on stem and scaffolds, large(older) and small (recent). Some inclusions in junctions <strong>of</strong> large diameter branches. Previousbranch failures noted, have been removed. Root system appears to be limited due to compaction<strong>of</strong> soils, and may be insufficient to support tree. Tree is showing signs <strong>of</strong> decline and failures -may be best managed by gradual reduction <strong>of</strong> larger included branches, with view to safety, andonly short term retention <strong>of</strong> tree.Aerial inspection. Resistograph® test required to determine extent <strong>of</strong> decay. If retained removelarger diameter epicormics w/poor attachments. Mulch root zone (min. 4.5m radius).
