Seasonal Pruning Clause Samples

Seasonal Pruning. Seasonal Pruning must be completed annually (one per year) for Package A sites and bi-annually (twice per year) for Package B sites. Pruning must be in accordance with established horticultural practice and in relation to the intended function of the planting. Direct, on-site supervision by a certified horticultural technician is required for all pruning. Trees are excluded from all pruning services. (a) All plant material (trees are excluded unless otherwise specified on site maps) is to be pruned to provide a consistent look across the hort bed. (b) All plant material must be pruned with final height chosen based on plant health and best trade practice, unless otherwise specified on site maps. (c) The City reserves the right to specify pruning height per individual site without penalty. (d) Plants are not to be pruned individually, but as groups to encourage "planting blocks". The "planting blocks" must be pruned to keep separation by species. (e) Plant material that naturally remains low in height shall have spent flower heads sheared (example: Lavender).
