NJUG-Vol 4

[Bundle 2]

This may seem a rather stupid question, and in many ways it is Im afraid !

Could someone please confirm for me a detail regarding the precautionary zone, described as 4 x tree circumf...

This must surely indicate that the radius of said PZ = 4 x tree circumf...?

 

cheers

It is a little unclear in the document, but I would take as you have.

I also think to a general builder or layman having a quick look the PZ in the diagram is just the canopy spread. I think it could be much clearer...

A little unclear....

You mean, it fails entirely to qualify the equation with any meaningful explanation...!

You are quite right. If it is something you had wondered about for yourself, you should take it as read that it means, the radius of the PrZ is (=) 4 times the circumference of the tree.

Apparently, they used to state that drip line was enough when they realised that fastigiate trees simply didnt fall into this neat categorisation - hence the change !

It is rather the obvious conclusion but I dont like taking things for granted....stupifyingly, I wondered if they meant 4xcir of tree = circum of PrZ

 

Anyway, that sorts that one out...Nice one !

I too wondered if it meant a PZ with circumference 4x that of the trunk, but thought it wouldn't be much bigger really.
