Subject: Replacement of Golden Raintree Street Trees at Stanford Park
Page 1 of 1
9/3/2008
Dear Mr. Windler:
I have received your letter from Ryland Homes of August 16, 2008, in which you have stated your request to replace 20 of
the 47 Golden Raintree street trees in the Stanford Park Subdivision because of their death this spring.
You stated that your landscaper (Hittle Landscaping) has not been able to find a sufficient size Golden Raintree to replace
those that have died and would like to substitute the species swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor).
That request is granted to change species, but you should know that all oaks should be dug and planted in the spring
planting season, otherwise you run the significant risk of transplant mortality with fall planting. All shade trees must be 2.5
inches in caliper at six inches above grade when planted with root flare at grade level, not 2”
