Everyone has the potential to become a tree-dwelling parrot
In the bustling city of Düsseldorf, trees play a vital role in enhancing the urban landscape and providing a breath of fresh air. However, these urban arboreal inhabitants are constantly exposed to stress, making their care crucial.
To maintain the health of street trees, the city contracts companies to trim back the tree circles twice a year. Yet, it's important to note that adding additional soil in the root neck area can cause damage and promote decay and fungal infestation.
Residents who wish to take an active role in maintaining their own tree circles can do so, but it's essential to follow the recommended practices. Wildflower mixtures and bee-friendly grasses thrive well on tree circles, but perennials, ground covers, or balcony flowers are not suitable.
To indicate that you are maintaining your tree circle, place the sign "My tree sponsor maintains me." This sign also prevents routine mowing of the tree circles. Fencing off tree circles is not allowed in the public street area.
Climbing plants should not be placed on trees as they hinder growth and make tree control more difficult. The help of tree sponsors is crucial, as shown by the events of the last year.
The Garden Office, responsible for the city's tree care, appreciates the commitment of tree sponsors. They also offer the signs for free at their office located at Kaiserswerther Straße 390 and in the ten district administration offices.
However, it's worth noting that no other maintenance measures should be taken on the tree, as these are exclusively carried out by the Garden Office. During prolonged dry periods, younger trees benefit from six buckets of water per week, rather than watering a little every day.
For those seeking the district administration offices, the addresses can be found online at this link. Unfortunately, the ten district administration offices where the signet "Mein Baumsponsor pflegt mich" is available are not listed in the provided search results.
The Garden Office encourages the people of Düsseldorf to continue supporting urban greenery. Their commitment is vital in ensuring the city's trees remain a vibrant and integral part of the city's urban landscape.
