The Horticulture staff installs and maintains all existing park trees. The trees are evaluated and inventoried on a three-year rotation. The information gathered on each tree includes the location (utilizing a GPS handheld unit), family, genus and species diameter at breast height (dbh); height; general health, including any disease; any recommended maintenance; and root zone constriction. Memorial trees are noted with all applicable data. The data gathered is used to effectively manage Dublin’s tree population.
