Bring large trees to cities and communities

 

For urban areas, in particular, large trees are much better than small ones. The large ones cope much better with the severe conditions of a city – so long as you ensure to maintain them. 


If, for example a large tree needs to be replaced, another large tree should be planted instead. Since the tree crown has already reached a certain height making it difficult for smaller trees to grow into the roadway, planting larger trees is the most beneficial for cities and municipalities. This reduces the maintenance cost for the municipality. In addition, trees which are “trained” in the tree nursery have very compact root balls and thus are well prepared for transplanting.

Large trees (conifers and deciduous trees) whose crows were already trained in the nursery are then much more sturdy and offer a more stable option. They can withstand vandalism and rushing trucks much better than smaller trees. In addition, older trees produce significantly more oxygen, immediately acting as important air filters, cooling the air and, of course, looking more appealing than a small, young tree.
 
This means that larger, older trees have a clear "benefit advantage" compared to smaller ones.  

“Don't be afraid of big trees! They are much easier to care for, more stable, and more resistant to external influences than small ones.”

Jens-Uwe Kretzer, Sales manager, Lorenz von Ehren Tree Nursery
