  • z This is the current base value of $36 per in2 adjusted by an increase of 2.5% per year for 50 years and 58 years, respectively.

  • y Note that the increase in CTLA values is due entirely to the increase in base values used in the formula. There is no difference in the tree’s size or ratings. The tree just exists at different times in the future, 50 and 58 years, respectively.
