Camera Photo Galleries:- Pavements of Funchal, Madeira Damage to Trees 1, 2, 3, 4. Will visitors to Madeira worry about having branches or trees in public places fall on them? No; according to Engineer Francisco Pedro Freitas Andrade of Est. Marmeleiros, No 1, Jardins & Espaces Verdes who is Chef de Diviso Câmara Municipal do Funchal; Departamento de Ciência e de Recursos Naturais; Divisão de Jardins e Espaços Verdes Urbanos in charge of the trees within the pavements within the area controlled by Funchal Municipality - See Monitoring of Trees in pavements in Funchal, Madeira from September 2019 to February 2010 1, 2 pages by his department. PROBLEMS WITH TREES IN PAVEMENTS IN ST. PETER PORT, GUERNSEY IN SEPTEMBER 2019 Demise of trees in pavements in St. Peter Port, Guernsey caused by people to their Roots Medway Proposed New School Comments in September 2019
Row details:- Row 1 - Grass is shown growing round the base of trees. Row 2 - This shows the amount of root on 1 ryegrass plant. University of Nebraska - Lincoln - DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station (1913-1993) 4-1949 Agricultural Research Division of IANR "Effect of Grass on Intake of Water" bulleting indicates that meadow grass can absorb 2 inches (5 cms) of water over 90 minutes, which would indicate that for most rainfall that the tree roots would receive little water.

Photo 1 - man strimming grass IMG_6110.JPG I am assuming that since this garden is opposite the Pestane Promenade Hotel that that Hotel created this garden and maintain it. A man is using a strimmer to mow the grass. See Photo 8a in Area of Open Ground round tree in Madeira to show you why grass should never be planted round trees and shrubs. See the tree and shrub with 30/01/2019 13:15 it to further demonstrate that this tree's trunk and branches are thinner than they should be due to the grass surrounding it in Photo 3 in the right hand bottom corner. Photo 4 below show how much root ONE RYEGRASS PLANT has and therefore why it can absorb so much water. Photo 2 - man strimming grass IMG_6112.JPG Photo 3 - tree 14 forum end of 2 road junction grass opposite promenade IMG_6177.JPG The grass on a steep slope will absorb most of the irrigation leaving the roots of the trees on the same slope without most of it. These tree trunks look thin for the age of the trees compared to width of the palm trunk planted in the bed next to the main road below.
Photo 4 - grass roots.jpg This shows the roots of 1 ryegrass plant, which had been removed from foundation bed of Type I Roadstone in a client's garden. You can see that this plant tens of yards or metres of root to absorb water. Most turf grass roots are concentrated in the first 6-8 inches (15-20 cms) of soil. Try to irrigate only one or two inches of water per week during the turf growing season. You could irrigate the whole amount of water at one time, however most folks have better results splitting the amount into two separate applications. Please note however in sandy soils where the water percolates more rapidly it may benefit you to split the applications into three separate irrigation cycles. You do not want to irrigate more than three times a week because you would be applying so little water the outcome would be shallow roots. Native Grass Meadow MARSHALL SILTY CLAY LOAM (HEAVY SUBSOIL PHASE) These plots (18-20) were located in an area that is in native grasses and has never been plowed, but being within a cemetery area has had frequent mowing. It adjoins the Agronomy Farm at Lincoln, Nebraska. T ests on these native grass plots (Table 1) showed that they absorbed over 2 inches of water during the first 1.5 hours with an absorption rate of about 1.4 inches per hour at the end of this time. Following a delay of 10 days during which there was no rain-fall, water was again applied to the test areas with practically the same results as for the previous test. It will be shown later that if the second test is made only 1 day after the first, the rate of intake will be materially reduced. This seems to be due to the settling of soil immediately after wetting. Upon longer standing the soil seems to resume its original condition. Photo 5 - tree 23 from end of 2 road junction tree in garden IMG_6222.JPG The roots of this tree are at ground level where they compete with the grass and other plants. Replace the grass with GREEN MANURE such as everlasting spinach to provide nitrogen to the tree roots as a legume rather than the grass which takes away the water and any application of fertiliser or nutrients in an organic mulch. The roots of the tree can then migrate below ground.
Photo 6 - tree 28 from end of 2 road junction garden alongside IMG_6249.JPG Looking down on this hotel which maintains this garden above it. Photo 7 - tree 29 from end of 2 road junction garden alongside irrigation pipe IMG_6252.JPG This garden opposite this hotel is irrigated on a regular basis. Photo 8 - tree 28 from end of 2 road junction garden alongside IMG_6248.JPG This tree looks like a normal tree and is quite healthy since it is irrigated along with the other trees and shrubs in this bed. There is bare earth, which it is possible could have a GREEN MANURE on it to give nutrients to the shrubs/trees, shade their roots from the earth heating up under the rays of the sun and reduce evaporation from the earth, as well as reduce the amount of irrigation water. A mulch of the shreddings of the prunings of the shrubs/trees under this hotel's care combined with its grass mowings would also return nutrients back to the soil. When the leaves from the deciduous trees fall then the shreddings can be placed on top of them to provide replacement of the mulch used by the organisms in the soil. during the last year. The deciduous leaves dropped on the pavements could be gathered using a rotary mower set to its highest setting and the mowings could be used either in the bicycle lane flower beds or in these hotel flower beds rather than being taken to a dump.
Photo 9 - tree 29 from end of 2 road junction garden alongside IMG_6254.JPG Tree 28 is this flower bed opposite the hotel to the right in this photo. Note that not only have the trees within the hotel ground have a good crown of foliage, but so does the tree in its own walled area at the end of the parked cars by the same hotel. I suspect that the hotel also irrigates this tree. This tree is also shown in Photo 8 of Public Gardens alongside pavements in Funchal, Madeira Page. You could say that the planted area maintained by the hotel on the left and opposite between these 2 main roads makes a more pleasant view that that of coloured concrete of the hotels, commercial buildings and grey concrete paver pavements. It is sad that it is likely that the 2 trees that you can view in the top right hand corner will disappear due to the existing maintenance program carried out in Madeira.
Photo 10 - tree 5 forum end of 2 road junction IMG_6140.JPG This is a view of damage in a tree on the same bicycle track section of the upper main road with the focus on the tree. The flower colours in this field - which is one side of the forum that is going to be replaced with a hotel - are good to look at. At present most of the land between Funchal Cathedral and the Forum has been converted to commercial dwellings and for the use by people who disregard the requirement for a balance so that in combination with vehicular transport, aeroplanes and animals breathing including humans that the carbon dioxide is climbing to the point when climate change will melt the poles and flood this view, since we keep on removing the foliage of plants that convert the carbon dioxide we breathe out to oxygen, so that we can breathe that same oxygen.
Photo 11 - tree 35 and 36 from pestana promenade drive IMG_6277.JPG This hotel garden of Pestana Promenade Hotel is irrigated and the plants are growing well. Photo 12 - tree 36 from pestana promenade drive garden view further along road IMG_6282.JPG This could be a hotel garden or a public garden. The grass is easy to mow but detrimental to the trees growing in it. Here's hoping that the trees in the pavement in the road above with their brown foliage are not ones that have trunk problems and might fall down towards this road. I wonder if that is a Propane Gas Tank which gas to the surrounding restaurants and hotel. A tree falling on that could cause a minor explosion. But do not worry, the maintenance program on trees in pavements will prevent this occurring. Mind you there is probably the same problem with the large trees in the first road to the right immediately after the bridge after the Pestana Mirimar Hotel. It could be gas tanks below those trees.
Photo 13 - tree 64 from pestana mirimar large tree view of these trees IMG_6382.JPG I think that they are gas tanks and they are between the bridge and the hotel in front and use the access road below to possibly have them refilled. There are some problems not just with damage to the trunks/branches, but at least one of its braces is slack. The Cruise Ships in the harbour would have first row seats as the gas explosion ripped out past the hotel to the harbour end.
Photo 14 - tree 36 from pestana promenade drive IMG_6276.JPG I wonder if this well-proportioned tree is part of the hotel grounds or is simply irrigated by the hotel using its 3 black water pipes in the bed alongside, since it seems to be growing quite well. Photo 15 - tree 36 from pestana promenade drive garden view further along road mature trees next to pavement IMG_6285.JPG Now are these trees in the Hotel Garden or part of the Public Highway? They appear to have been allowed to grow in their natural state without being pollarded, so why this latest desecration to juvenile trees grown in pipes from rain gutters? The pipe length is increased as the trunk appears above the top and the wall space of this tree nursery in Madeira producing juvenile pollarded trees for planting in pavements as replacements is very narrow and only a few metres long, since nursery space in Madeira is at a premium. see Photo 9 in New trees in pavements in Funchal, Madeira as an example of an older planted juvenile.
Photo 16 - tree 38 from pestana promenade outside porto mare hotel IMG_6290.JPG Irrigated beds do not have to be all that deep from wall to edge as shown outside Porto Mare Hotel. Photo 17 - tree 38 from pestana promenade outside porto mare hotel IMG_6292.JPG and they label their plants as do Pestana Mirimar Hotel. Photo 18 - tree 38 from pestana promenade outside porto mare hotel IMG_6291.JPG Porto Mare Hotel even has a banana plantation because of irrigation.
Photo 19 - tree 38 from pestana promenade outside porto mare hotel IMG_6297.JPG This garden opposite Porto Mare Hotel is mantained and irrigated by that hotel. Maybe the hotel has used plants native or naturalised to Madeira to stabilse the cliff- face giving bright flower colours in January.

Cultural Needs of Plants
from Chapter 4 in Fern Grower's Manual by Barbara Joe Hoshizaki & Robbin C. Moran. Revised and Expanded Edition. Published in 2001 by Timber Press, Inc. Reprinted 2002, 2006. ISBN-13:978-0-
88192-495-4.

"Understanding Fern Needs
Ferns have the same basic growing requirements as other plants and will thrive when these are met. There is nothing mysterious about the requirements - they are not something known only to people with green thumbs - but the best gardeners are those who understand plant requirements and are careful about satisfying them.
What, then, does a fern need?

All plants need water. Water in the soil prevents roots from drying, and all mineral nutrients taken up by the roots must be dissolved in the soil water. Besides water in the soil, most plants need water in the air. Adequate humidity keeps the plant from drying out. Leaves need water for photosynthesis and to keep from wilting.
All green plants need light to manufacture food (sugars) by photosynthesis. Some plants need more light than others, and some can flourish in sun or shade. Most ferns, however, prefer some amount of shade.
For photosynthesis, plants require carbon dioxide, a gas that is exhaled by animals as waste. Carbon dioxide diffuses into plants through tiny pores, called stomata, that abound on the lower surface of the leaves. In the leaf, carbon dioxide is combined with the hydrogen from water to form carbohydrates, the plant's food. This process takes place only in the presence of light and chlorophyll, a green pigment found in plant cells. To enhance growth, some commercial growers increase the carbon dioxide level in their greenhouses to 600ppm (parts per million), or twice the amount typically found in the air.
Plants need oxygen. The green plants of a plant do not require much oxygen from the air because plants produce more oxygen by photosynthesis than they use. The excess oxygen liberated from the plants is used by all animals, including humans. What do plants do with oxygen? They use it just as we do, to release the energy stored in food. We use energy to move about, to talk, to grow, to think - in fact, for all our life processes. Although plants don't talk or move much, they do grow and metabolize and must carry on all their life processes using oxygen to release the stored energy in their food.
Roots need air all the time. They get it from the air spaces between the soil particles. Overwatering displaces the air between soil particles with water, thereby removing the oxygen needed by the roots. This reduces the root's ability to absorb mineral nutrients and can foster root-rot.
Plants need minerals to grow properly. The minerals are mined from the soil by the plant's root system. If a certain mineral is missing, such as calcium needed for developing cell walls, then the plant will be stunted, discoloured, or deformed.
Some plants tolerate a wide range of temperatures, whereas others are fussy. If the temperature is too high or low, the machinery of the plant will not operate satisfactorily or will cease entirely.

The basic needs of plants are not hard to supply, but growing success depends on attending to these needs with care and exactitude. The remainder of this chapter is devoted to a discussion of these requirements, with the exception of mineral needs, which are discussed in Chapter 5."

It is worth remembering that especially with roses that the colour of the petals of the flower may change - The following photos are of Rosa 'Lincolnshire Poacher' which I took on the same day in R.V. Roger's Nursery Field:-

Form of Rose Bush

There are 720 roses in the Rose Galleries; many of which have the above series of pictures in their respective Rose Description Page.

So one might avoid the disappointment that the 2 elephants had when their trunks were entwined instead of them each carrying their trunk using their own trunk, and your disappointment of buying a rose to discover that the colour you bought it for is only the case when it has its juvenile flowers; if you look at all the photos of the roses in the respective Rose Description Page!!!!

There are 180 families in the Wildflowers of the UK and they have been split up into 22 Galleries to allow space for up to 100 plants per gallery.

Each plant named in each of the Wildflower Family Pages may have a link to:-

its Plant Description Page in its Common Name in one of those Wildflower Plant Galleries

and it does have links:-

to external sites to purchase the plant or seed in its Botanical Name,

to see photos in its Flowering Months and

to read habitat details in its Habitat Column.

Links to external websites like the link to "the Man walking in front of car to warn pedestrians of a horseless vehicle approaching" would be correct when I inserted it after March 2007, but it is possible that those horseless vehicles may now exceed the walking pace of that man and thus that link will currently be br
ok en .... .....

My advice is Google the name on the link and see if you can find the new link. If you sent me an email after clicking Ivydene Horticultural Services text under the Worm Logo on any page, then; as the first after March 2010 you would be the third emailer since 2007, I could then change that link in that 1 of the 15,743 pages. Currently (August 2016).

Other websites provide you with cookies - I am sorry but I am too poor to afford them. If I save the pennies from my pension for the next visitor, I am almost certain in March 2023, that I could afford to make that 4th visitor to this website a Never Fail Cake. I would then be able to save for more years for the postage.
