Abstract
Total pruning time, waste wood stack time, waste wood yield, and average annual diameter growth rates were determined for various diameter classes (4-16 inch; 10- 40 cm) of honeylocust (Gleditsia tricanthos), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Norway maple (Acerplatanoides), and littleleaf linden {Tilia cordata). Pruning time increased at a rate of 6 minutes per diameter inch (2.5 cm) and waste wood stack time increased at a rate of 1.5 minutes per diameter inch (1.5 cm) forall species combined. Waste wood yields increase at a rate of 3 pounds per minute pruning for all species combined. Maintenance costs and waste wood yields were higher for honeylocust than for green ash, littleleaf linden, and Norway maple.
