Re; Landscaping Issues - Burger King
I inspected the landscaping at Burger King again today and made the following
observations:
1. the twine tied to the base of the trees and large shrubs - has been removed
2., yellow flagging and labels are attached to the trunks of several of the
trees - have been removed as far as 1 could tell - many of the trees had their trunks
wrapped with tree wrap.
3. burlap on top of root balls - this his not been removed or folded back as
recommended; however, at this point, since the plants have been in place for so long, I
would not recommend digging up the plants to accomplish this.
4. exposed burlap - one sugar maple in a parking lot median where there is rock mulch,
has exposed burlap at the top of the root ball. This should be covered with soil and then re-
covered with the rock mulch. If the burlap is not covered, moisture will wick out of the
root ball, killing the absorbing roots of the tree.
