URBAN FORESTRY AUSTRALIA - TREE MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING ARBORICULTURISTS3.2 Trees Identified as Removable Due to Poor Health and/or Condition3.2.1 Of the ninety-one (91) trees within the subject area, four (4) arerecommended for removal, based on factors such as poor or declininghealth and/or condition, inhospitable conditions or poor locations whichincreases the risk of part, or whole tree failure (refer to Appendix C for moredetails).3.2.2 Tree 3 is a semi-mature Lophostemon confertus (Brush Box), growing nearthe path at the northeast corner of Llewellyn and Black Streets. The tree ishealthy and vigourous, but has a poorly developed branch structure, whichpresents an increasing risk of branch failure as it matures.Plate 4Three branches (actually secondary stems)arise at the same point of attachment to themain stem of the tree. The bark is included,and there are noticeable seams (arrowed).The cambium is being squeezed, and oftendies as a result. As the tree grows, and thegirths of these secondary stems expand, thereis an increasing risk one or more of thesestems may be pushed out, and fail.This tree is located next to the footpath at thenortheast corner of the park.3.2.3 Tree 26 is an immature Liriodendron tulipifera (Tulip Tree), in good healthbut with a very poorly formed crown, due to past branch failures. The failingbranch was possibly the result of vandalism. Allowing the tree to remainand mature is inviting increased risk of branch failures from poorly formedor attached shoots.Arboricultural Audit & Development Impact Assessment– Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Enmore ParkFebruary, 2009. 8 of 42
