Tree Condion Evaluaon
For Cered Arborist Use Only
A tree’s condion is determined from the sum of the condion points established from the rang of a tree’s roots, trunk,
limb/branch structure, twigs and foliage. The condion point system is structured as follows: no apparent problems (4
points), minor problems (3 points), major problems (2 points) and extreme problems (1 point).
ROOTS
Root anchorage
Restricted root system relave to canopy
Mechanical injury
Girdling roots
Compacon or water-logged roots
Presence of insects or diseases
TRUNK
Sound bark and wood, no cavies
Upright trunk (well tapered)
Included bark between co-dominant stems
Mechanical or re injury
Cracks
Swollen or sunken area
Presence of insects and diseases
LIMB AND BRANCH STRUCTURE
• Strong aachments, no included bark
• Free of decay and cavies
• Well proporoned, good form
• Wound closure
• Dead limbs/epicormic sproung
• Presence of decay, insects and diseases
TWIGS
• Shoot vigor compared to past 3-year growth
• Presence of weak or dead twigs
• Presence of insects and diseases
FOLIAGE
• Normal appearance (size, color, density)
• Nutrient deciencies
• Herbicidal, chemical injury symptoms
• Wilted or dead leaves
• Presence of insect or disease

TREE CONDITION RANKING: The ranking does not incorporate a wood density evaluaon of the root collar and in-
cludes an evaluaon of the tree’s canopy from the ground surface only.
