Tree Survey Review

The Tree and Landscape Manager has reviewed the arboricultural
report, reference 25103, and concurs with its recommendations, with
one exception. The tree identified as T15, a Northern Catalpa, has
been incorrectly identified. This tree is a Clerodendrum trichotomum,
also known as the Harlequin Glorybower. Given its value and
condition, it should be retained and protected during all stages of the
proposed development.
