The trunk diameter is measured at a height of 1.2 metres for trees of 15 centimeters diameter and greater and at a height of 0.3 metres for trees of less than 15 centimeters diameter 7.0 SUGGESTED TREES FOR LANDSCAPE PLAN OF PROPOSED TREES SUGGESTED TREE SPECIES PERCENT OF TREE OFFSET TO THE SITE (%) 40 Amelanchier laevis 58% Acer rubrum Betula papyrifera Populus Picea glauca 7
