CALCULATING TREE PROTECTION ZONE
The following guidelines shall be applied to determine the Tree Protection Zone:
1. Evaluate the species tolerance of the tree: good, moderate, or poor (See list on next page)
2. Identify tree age: young (< 20% of the trees life expectancy), mature (20% - 80 % of'the trees
life expectancy), or overmature (>80% of the trees life expectancy)
3. Using the table below, find the distance from the trunk that should be protected per inch of
trunk diameter. -
4. Multiply the distance by the trunk diameter to calculate the optimum radius (in feet) for the
tree protection zone. ~ .
Example: .
A healthy 60- year old, 30" diameter California black walnut (poor tolerance, mature age)
1.25' x 30" = 37.5 radius tree protection zone.
