Trees planted in parking lots are often STRESSED!

3 years ago by LibertyLizard to c/treehuggers

Trees that are planted in parking lot conditions are exposed to a lot of stressors including enhanced heat, drought, and sun exposure, salt pollution, root compaction, and more. With just a few simple design changes, we can better accommodate the needs of trees in these locations, and help them provide us with more shade, fresh air, and wildlife value as they live healthier lives.

Trees roots are as wide and deep as they are tall generally. No surprise trees with a tiny patch of grass getting nowhere near enough water don't do well.

Yes, we need to advocate for giving trees in urban areas the root space they need to grow.
