<Could the next logical step be to consider a retained tree on a site as
a containerised (not container grown) tree and say "if you are going to
reduce the root system of this tree by x amount then you must include it
in the landscaping plan for irrigation, mulching and weed competition
control, maybe even support, for the next five years, just as you would
a newly planted root balled tree?>
What a novel idea. However, that would be fine for young trees, perhaps
not so good for an older, or one teetering on the brink of decline. I
think this would have to be another one to be determined not at one's
desk but as an on site inspection.
