General: Furnish nursery-grown plants true to genus, species, variety, cultivar, stem form, <br />shearing, and other features indicated in Plant Schedule or Plant Legend shown on Drawings and <br />complying with ANSI Z60.1; and with healthy root systems developed by transplanting or root <br />pruning.

Trees with damaged, crooked, or multiple leaders; tight vertical branches where bark is <br />squeezed between two branches or between branch and trunk ("included bark"); crossing <br />trunks; cut-off limbs more than 3/4 inch in diameter; or with stem girdling roots will be <br />rejected. <br />2. Collected Stock: Do not use plants harvested from the wild, from native stands, from an <br />established landscape planting, or not grown in a nursery unless otherwise indicated. <br />3.

Plants of a larger size may be used if acceptable to Architect, with a <br />proportionate increase in size of roots or balls. <br />D.

Include nomenclature for hybrid, variety, or cultivar, if applicable for the plant <br />as shown on Drawings. <br />H. If formal arrangements or consecutive order of plants is shown on Drawings, select stock for <br />uniform height and spread, and number the labels to assure symmetry in planting. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7D9ACD4F-8F6C-42B6-9ADB-C60032DB6D03
