Care of Trees: <br /> a. Trees shall be protected at all times form drying, heating, smothering, freezing, crushing, <br /> drowning, abrasion, rapid temperature fluctuations, or contact with injurious substances. <br /> b. Shipping containers containing trees shall be opened only in full shade, and shall not be <br /> exposed to direct sunlight. Shipping containers shall not be dropped or tossed. <br /> Punctured or torn shipping containers shall be immediately sealed. <br /> C. Trees shall not be removed from shipping containers until needed for planting. <br /> d. Trees shall be planted without root or top pruning. If culling is necessary, or if mold, dry <br /> roots, evidence of injury or dying is observed, the condition will be immediately brought <br /> to the attention of the PROJECT MANAGER. <br /> e. Trees in planting bags or trays shall have only their tops exposed. <br /> f. Trees shall not be removed from planting bag or cell until immediately before planting. <br /> They shall be gently removed one at a time to prevent injury, and quickly and gently <br /> inserted into the planting hole. <br /> g. Trees carried in planting bags or trays shall not exceed the amount that can be carried <br /> and removed without injury, or which can be planted before critical heating or drying <br /> occurs. Trees placed in bags or trays shall be planted out and not returned to storage. <br /> Spacing, Spot Selection, and Planting Spot <br /> 1r1 % f,� ,ram✓r � ,� <br /> NOTE that planting on the reclaimed roads will be accomplished along the outside margin of the UR <br /> roadways. At the reclaimed roads, each planting `Pod' (as defined below) will begin at the <br /> outside margin of the road, and extend toward the inside of the reclaimed road for a distance of <br /> forty feet (40'). Spacing between pods on the reclaimed roads will be no less than fifty feet <br /> (50'), edge to edge. <br /> a. Trees are to be planted in pods, or groups, of thirty (30) trees per pod. The trees within a <br /> pod are to be planted on an eight foot (8') spacing. Five (5) pods will be planted per acre. <br /> Pods must be spaced no closer than thirty five feet (35') from each other, edge to edge. <br /> b. Trees shall be in pods distributed over the Project Area, and planted on the spacing <br /> described above, provided that for individual trees the spacing may be varied as much as _ <br /> fifty percent (50%) in any direction in order to attain the best plantable spot. Spacing control <br /> shall be resumed using the original guides, and the number of trees per acre shall not be <br /> materially increased or decreased by the method of selecting planting spots. No tree shall <br /> be planted closer than fifty percent (50%) of the spacing requirement to another planted <br /> tree. <br /> c. Whenever possible, planting spots shall be selected where stationary protection, such as <br /> stumps, logs and terrain breaks, are located on the south to west side of the tree. Where <br /> stationary material is not available within the spacing allocation, planter shall protect the <br /> trees by placing the largest transportable woody or inert material over three inches (3") in <br /> 7 n <br />
