Just as we now enjoy the trees left to us by previous generations, we can also leave a green legacy for future generations. For this reason, it is important to introduce trees in new urban plans already at an early stage, not as simple decoration but as elements that define the outdoor space and that receive sufficient margin to grow. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a long life. Trees can be hindered in their development by changes to urban plants; they can become diseased or, in the worst case, fall victim to felling before reaching maturity. And this is how we return to the enduring aspect of green. Because old trees are trees that last, but trees that have the capacity to last do not always reach their full potential.

Conditions for a tree of the future
For a tree to stand the test of time, that is, so that future generations can enjoy it, a series of preconditions must be met.
To start, you have to choose a quality tree. A tree that has been transplanted regularly has been able to develop a healthy root system and has a well-formed crown that has been competently pruned and monitored.
Choose a tree that has been sustainably grown. It is, after all, a green legacy. Furthermore, sustainably grown trees resist external influences better because they have developed greater natural resistance against diseases and pests.
Opt for a tree that responds well to the environment in which it will be planted. Think not only about the type of soil but also factors such as wind, frost, pavement, and humidity. you can read more TREESCENCE about it.
Choose a species that has the potential to reach maturity. These are generally the slowest-growing species. These have smaller cells that harden better. The heart of the tree becomes stronger and more resistant.
When the planting site will be influenced by the effects of climate change, choose a species that is expected to survive these effects.
Place the tree in a location where it has enough space both above and below the ground. Keep in mind that a tree of the largest size needs approximately one m3 per year to grow below the ground.
Make sure the tree is planted by an expert. The Treescene should be previously evaluated, and the land should be improved if necessary. Trees must be anchored correctly.
It is important that, in the first years, the correct growth and pruning of the crown be monitored so that it grows in a well-balanced way. If a larger tree is chosen, this process can be avoided because the final crown has already been formed in the nursery.
In addition to all this, there are many factors over which, of course, we have no influence, but following these tips will, in any case, create the ideal conditions to obtain a green future.
The effects of climate change on trees:
- more intense solar radiation;
- longer periods of drought;
- large spikes in precipitation;
- fluctuations in groundwater levels;
- Appearance of diseases and pests
