<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are in the process of developing a long-term tree maintenance strategy for the City of Vaughan, including a tree pruning rotation. While we preliminarily have considered a seven year cycle, we would appreciate any information from other
municipalities on their strategies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are also looking for information to what degree proper tree pruning enhances tree growth(yield), resistance, and age. This information would be very helpful in our valuation of the investment into tree maintenance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for any information you may be able to share.<o:p></o:p></p>
