Road Arboriculture

Growing of trees along road side is called road arboriculture. Trees can be grown on both urban as well as rural roads. The trees should be planted at least 12 m way from the centre line of the carriage way. The basic aim of planting the tree away from the centre line is to maintain clearance at least equal to carriage way width at the level of crown of trees.

ROAD

ARBORICULTURE

Objectives of Road Arboriculture

The trees are grown on road side to serve the following objectives.

To provide attractive landscape of road side.

To provide shape and comfort to road users and make journey more comfortable.

Patterns of Tree Planting Trees are generally grown along both sides

of the road. As already stated that, the spacing of the trees rows the centre line of carriage way should be at least 12 m, in case trees of wide crown type.

A typical arrangement of urban and rural road planning is as shown in fig.

Care of Trees

Protection of Trees:

After planting the trees have to be looked

after from the attack of stray animals.

Following measures can be adopted for the

protection of trees.

Trenches : A round trench about 2.5 m in diameter in plan is dug around the plant pit. Section of the trench is Trapezoidal having about 40 cm bed and about 50 cm depth..

Open brick work guards : Open brick, tree may be constructed around the trees. Tree guards may be circular or square in plan. Thickness of tree guard is kept one brick laid as heading.

Iron guards : Iron enclosure are made around the trees to protect them.

Bitumen drum guards : P.W.D. has lot of used bitumen drums in its possession.

Barbed wire fencing: In this system four wooden bullies are driven at four corners around the tree pit an bardbed wire wrapped around them.

Thorning trees: A protection around the planted tree can be developed by using thorny cut tree branches. But this measure is sort of temporary arrangement of tree protection.

Maintenance of Trees: Watering : Watering is an essential feature of tree

maintenance. Method of watering and interval of watering depends on type of tree, the land, climatic conditions, water availability etc.

Hoeing : Soil around the tree stem should be kept loose. This helps in fast growth of the tree.

Protection from frost: Plants which are likely to be affected by cold should be provided protection by covering them by thatching.

Keeping trees straight: if plants get inclined they should be given support with the help of bullies against the slope. This helps keep the tree up right.

Pruning and deforking: Pruning is the process which is useful for making tree to grow straight and in compact form.

Lopping: It is process of train the trees in proper shape during its growth. Branches interfering the traffic and other adjoining trees are cut.

Felling of trees: Matured trees if not cut in time, will start decaying. Over matured trees and trees which are very close to each other should be felled.

Conclusion

Implementation of the development proposal will require the removal of the category, subject to planning consent; although one of the more significant trees on the site .The category U English oak (T12) has a limited safe lifespan and itsremoval should be considered whether the development proceedsor not.
