A strategy to establish trees among high-density housing
Journal, Research (Article)
This paper concerns itself primarily with identifying tree establishment problems experienced among the London borough of Lambeths housing estates (public housing developments) and offers possible solutions by adopting a tree-planting strategy specifically for HDH. [UMN]
"High-density housing (HDH) ranks as one of the most hostile of planting environments. The best success rates are realized after the implementation of a planned tree-planting strategy. A strategy converts what is commonly addressed as an annual one-off task into an allencompassing process of events, which when placed into a logical order provide optimal circumstances for ensuring successful tree establishment. The tree-planting strategy developed in Lambeth, United Kingdom, based on observations and consultation with users, has proved to reduce failure rates. It is possible to apply the principles of the strategy developed for HDH to the range of planting environments presented to the tree manager." [Abstract]
