As a final addition to the sidewalk work for the season, tree grates and cages were installed around the newly planted trees. These kind of tree protection grates are so much better for the trees (as opposed to the standard cement slabs and collars that are used in other places) as they let lots of water in. We are told this system is also outfitted for tubes that will be installed when the ground has thawed to allow for a hose to be slid in and water delivered deep into the planting medium.
The cages also provide much needed protection for the new trees to avoid stressing them in this critical time of growth. This is already a challenging environment for trees to grow in so anything we can do to improve their chances is well worth the effort.
try placing some high pressure sodium lights to keep the tree photosyntheising at night allow only one hour of darkness for growth and you will decrease the CO2 output that occours at night decreasing the carbon foot print
ReplyDeleteDo you recommend a vendor for tree cages?
ReplyDeleteIt blends into the background. Cages and grills leave enough space for trees to grow and appear to be strong enough to withstand the assaults of man and nature. It’s really a difficult environment for trees, that's why many company innovates this kind of protection. I’m responsible of the urban area’s architecture of a large city. The new town policy’s planning provides to incorporate space for the plant as an essential component of the living

With an architect’s help, we’ve been served on this site http://www.archiexpo.com/architecture-design-manufacturer/tree-grate-346.html to protect a hundred of umbrella tree and chlorophyll tree. Moreover, this site provides several models and brands to suit all applications. It’s very interesting.
