Tree Roots in Soil Cells
In July 2011, GreenBlue planted a Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ tree in a hard landscape paved area, as part of a training and research program. The tree was photographed during the planting process and the exercise was part of a detailed study into tree root morphology in root management products, and new root extension into uncompacted soil in structural cells.
Accommodating Services within the StrataCell Matrix
Services are frequently encountered during construction of tree pits. There are four main methods for creative service ducts through StrataCell structural soil cell tree pits, as described in illustrated in this guide.
Resource: Soil Requirements of Healthy Urban Trees
