RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Utility Customer Tree Replacement JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 22 OP 23 DO 10.48044/jauf.1990.007 VO 16 IS 1 A1 L. Brian Morris YR 1990 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/16/1/22.abstract AB Utilities must prune trees in order to safely deliver electrical power and do It In a reliable manner. The ultimate answer to the ever increasingly difficult task of clearing lines from conflicting tree limbs in the urban setting is to have compatible tree species planted in and near the right-of-way rather than the larger maturing species. Duke Power, like many utilities, has decided to take a pro-active approach to the problem and initiate a customer tree replacement program to aid in procuring the customer’s agreement to allow the removal of certain incompatible species.
