会员们:


附上两则在国内有关树木行业的信息如下：


(A) 全根苗运输纪行


附上的照片报导本来是有关 "无证运苗" 的事件，但请小心看一下这些 "全根苗" 是怎样装载的：


1. 小苗本身是去了顶, 中央主干完全被破坏；


2. 根部没有独立包装好, 根系之间互相绞在一起, 或与树干之间纠缠不清；


3. 树苗顶端叠放多层，直至车斗放不下为止, 显然是为了节省运费；但层压底下的树干和根系会在运输途中，因重量而互相挤压磨损或受压破裂，抵步后还能用吗？


看来这次买苗的人可能是 "陪了夫人又折兵"； 如果还紧持收货的话，或者是别有用心了吧 ...


(B)  北京行道树修剪


从西方国家的专业树木工作人员的眼光去看，附上的图片会令他们感觉到 "蔚为其观"。 被修的树木部位可能只是离地 3 - 4 米，完全可以利用长柄锯从地上处理。


修剪人员是在一套完全没有 "防堕系统" 的条件下，在离地两米以上的高处操作刀具，并不配戴任何 "个人防护装备" 包括安全帽和护目镜，施工范围也没有圈起来, 梯子没有作出固定。 最右边的工人看上去好像是正在操作电油锯，而他只靠用双脚来作树上固定。 这些对接受国际安全标准的西方同行来说，完全是难以置信。


国内的树木工作行业确有自己一套，但愿如此工作的人员安全长寿，多福自保吧。


谨此致意!

Dear Station Members,

Before anything else, we wish to welcome our new overseas friends from all around the world to be included into our circulation list.  ISA HK/China tends to focus more on China nowadays. We hope you will enjoy what we share.  We hope you can understand our English too.

Attached are two sets of China Tree News captured recently.

(A) Bare Root Stocks Transportation

Attached shows a nurseryman was packing & moving his bare root stocks to a buyer somewhere in China.

The young trees were topped, the root system not protected or individually packed, The stocks were stacked as high & as much top to end in layers, to until the lorry bed could not hold anymore.

This is quite a common mode of transportation for bare root stocks in China. Apparently cost is the top priority, quality never mind. Being young trees, many of the stocks would survive on site after planting, but with the tree architecture destroyed & wounds all over. This is so far acceptable in most China landscape.

Arboriculture has not yet begun in China, & ISA HK/China is working hard to try to bring in the modern ideas. Meanwhile, the same transportation mode will continue everyday somewhere in China, & the practice will go on to until the system can consider a change. This will take time.

(B) Roadside Tree Pruning in Beijing

Yes, believe it, the attached photo was taken in the capital city of China, Beijing, only a few months ago. To the western tree professionals, most might exclaim: "What a sight"!

The tree workers were cutting at a height of about 3-4 m from ground where pole saw can reach. No PPE was required. The ladders were not secured. No Fall Arrest System was deployed. The guy on the far right appeared to be operating a chainsaw, & was securing himself on the tree by only using his legs. The Work Zone was not defined & cordoned off, where pedestrians were passing freely below. This is roadside tree pruning, Beijing style.

China differs from the rest of the western world in many things. Tree pruning is just one of them. ISA HK/China has a long way to go to tell our brothers & sisters in their language of how arboriculture is practicing in the rest of the world. 99.9% of Chinese do not speak English. We have a daunting task.
