Key to Headings in Resource Table

d.b.h. – diameter at breast height - diameter of trunk, measured in centimetres at 1.4 metres above ground level
CRZ – critical root zone - estimated optimal size of tree protection zone based on tree species, condition and age of specimen and the species tolerance to root disturbance. Indicates the radial distance from the trunk, measured in metres.
Condition health/structure –
- Good – no visible or minor health or structural flaw
- Fair – health or structural flaw present that can be corrected through normal arboricultural or horticultural care.
- Poor – significant health or structural defects that compromise the long-term survival or retention of the specimen.
Relative Tolerance – relative tolerance of the selected species to development impacts.
