Tree Growth Rate

The methodology is based on the "standard" nursery raised trees which are typically sold in 5-gallon containers, and which are usually 1 inch in diameter at the tree base (1 foot above the ground). (SMUD Shade Tree program has experienced that 5-gallon container trees will grow quickly and catch up with the larger 15-gallon container trees within the next couple years and thus the methodology applies for both 5- and 15-gallon container trees.) This methodology assumes that the standard (5 gallon) trees are "0" age when planted.
