A thousand ways to kill the trees
- Summer is a propitious time for the investigation of crimes. I don't know, but at this time when the tendency to walk from one side to the other increases, I propose to look at the trees. And appropriating the crimes of the world of trees. Joan Tartas published in 1666 the book The Way to Kill Ontsa, to prepare our death. These are the roads to kill trees well. You'll find some beautiful examples everywhere.
Bonnie Appleton, a professor at the University of Virginia Tech, said that in urbanized spaces there are few or no trees that die of old age. Inadequate care and mechanical damage are more devastating for trees than diseases and pests.
A good teacher, he set up a school. How to kill a tree?
Planting, pruning or throwing in time too close to a house, a building or something.
Tighten and strangle branches hanging swings, nests for birds, etc.
Leaving, anyway, pieces of manure to rot himself and the trunk.
Contradict the pruning of the trunk without letting it heal.
Leave the stake for a long time, the ropes strangling the trunk and so the stake could continuously hurt the skin.
Around the trunk and against it are stacked remains of grass, bush and the like: the rats that are going to devour the skin and the mushrooms that are going to burn it are stacked there.
Perpetuate irrigation, make a hole too small to plant or fertilize it too much in the pit so that the roots of the sighting remain short and the tree falls.
Make a hole too big and fill the gravel bottom to collect water and rot the roots.
So that the new bids that the main branch will embed come with more strength.
Leave the branches that are beaten to caress and cause injuries.
See evils and pests and not ignore or ignore.
Cover the wounds and pruning cuts with paint or healing paste, making it difficult and lengthening the healing to be attacked by some ailment.
Keep the branches broken without slowing the fracture to facilitate the entry of parasitic diseases and pests.
Use in the environment of herbicides or herbicides to weaken the roots.
Boil and damage the trunk or roots with grass or shrubland cutting machines.
Open ditches or regatta on the ground to install a work or infrastructure (water, electricity, etc.) And cut roots.
The stapled paper will also be placed on the tree's surface to extend the mayor's side that says they don't have a car underneath to prune trees.
And in the case of public trees, who has to investigate and denounce those eleven crimes against which we are all? Local policemen? The Amabias?
