Damage to Tree Trunks 1, 2, 3, 4 caused by people, Camera Photo Galleries:- 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.

Indicates that there is no foundation under this concreted black and white marble block pavement. Photo 35 - tree 126 from mirimar to funchal new tree pollarded IMG_0065.JPG Why was it necessary to not only pollard this juvenile tree but the very mature one behind it as well? Do the people of Madeira not realise the importance of these trees to both themselves and the tourist? They are worth at least £1,000,000 each not just for
A tree in front of a house increases the home’s sales price by an average of $7,130, according to the PNW Research Station. People prefer to look at nature rather than man-made items. If you look at the photo you will notice that for a considerable distance the view is of buildings, the same is if you look the other way. How does the soil under these buildings not break down to the basic minerals only like sand, chalk, clay since the other components cannot get access through that concrete/tarmac to the outside world. Let us hope that the foundations of all those buildings reaches down to the bedrock under the soil. Otherwise what is gong to stop the buildings sliding? |

Who are the idiots who have been let loose on these trees, who have not got a clue on how to do Crown Reduction or is this the standard of teaching for these idiots in Madeira? Also who is maintaining these trees, because as far as I can see the people responsible for the roads and pavements only consider the traffic or pedestrians but not these trees. There are trees that will fall down because of this lack of attention, some could fall on gas cyclinders with boom, boom to follow and others on buildings, people or cars in roads during storms. MADEIRA HAD A FLOOD FROM A STORM A FEW YEARS AGO, WHICH SEVERELY DAMAGED FUNCHAL, WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE PEOPLE OF MADEIRA CLEARED IT UP AND MADE CHANGES TO TRY AND PREVENT THAT COMING AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT. |
The following is a copy from the index page of this website ( I have replaced the images of the figures with the complete image from the relevant photos):- The trees in the pavement between those 2 points have these problems for their Trunk and branches:- TRUNK1 - The pruning of trees shrubs and conifers by George E. Brown, NDH formerly Assistant Curator, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew was first published in 1972 by Faber and Faber Lited. Reprinted 1982 and 1988. Re-issued 1987. ISBN 0 571 11084 3 was a recommended book by Hadlow College, whilst I was a student for HNC in Horticulture in September 1990 to June 1991; after I was made redundant having coded the display for the RAF Helicopter Pilots to use instead of them using paper maps (I was 42 and personnel over 36 were first in line for redundancy). Apparently people use it in their cars and it is currently named Satnav.
It should be borne in mind that only the main branches have been shown. The broken lines indicate branches which are to be cut out.
Part of a branch system under consideration for thinning. The broken lines indicate 2 branches which would be removed under a moderate thinning, the cuts being made at (a). Whole lengths are removed, making the cut as close to the parent branch as possible. Under a severe thinning policy, 3 additional branches are suggested for removal by making indicated by (b). With crown reduction, however, the branches are shortened, the cuts being carefully positioned just above a substantial limb growing in the right direction, see Fig. 2. on page 4:- Cut number 1 is wrong, since it leaves a stump. The tree then produces multiple shoots from this stump, which are weakest at the stump end, overcrowd each other and then all shoots will need cutting out. |

Photo 36 - tree 131 from mirimar to funchal new tree pollarded IMG_0079.JPG Lower branches were pollarded and so water sprouts were created. Photo 37 - tree 131 from mirimar to funchal new tree pollarded IMG_0079.JPG Off centre to the right, one of those water sprouts was pollarded, so it produced water sprouts from the cut end. |

Photo 38 - tree 141 from funchal roundabout to cathedral new beanpole tree IMG_0100.JPG The wood mash mulch will prevent the open ground underneath from drying out. One might hope that irrigation of this area would occur on a regular basis. Photo 39 - tree 141 from funchal roundabout to cathedral new beanpole tree IMG_0101.JPG This plastic tie will throttle this tree and stake this close will impede bark growth where it touches.

This new tree is growing in the shade of taller mature trees between high rise buildings. It's natural inclination is to climb to the sunlight, so it has been pollarded twice and result gives you height through water sprouts. This is so that this tree like the others can be used with lights for the parade season. Water Sprouts have an inherent weakness at their junction with the older tree and this tree trunk is too week to then to take the height of growth, especially when you have people clambering on them fixing lighting equipment or replacing bulbs. A good wind would snap these tall water sprouts. Why not grow a vertical branched tree with vigorous growth to achieve this effect? |

Photo 43 - tree 107 from funchal to top of hill new tree IMG_6086.JPG Has this tree been pollarded as seems to be the practice after installing new trees? Whereas the relatively new one behind does not appear to have suffered the same fate.

This website is being created by Chris Garnons-Williams of Ivydene Horticultural Services from it's start in 2005. I am requesting free colour photographs of any plants grown in or sold in the United Kingdom to add to the plants in the Plant Photographic Galleries and Butterfly photographs for the Butterfly on Plant Photographic Galleries. |
Site design and content copyright ©April 2007. Page structure amended October 2012. Page structure changed February 2019 for pages concerning Trees in pavements alongside roads in Madeira. Chris Garnons-Williams. |
It should be remembered that nothing is sold from this educational site, it simply tries to give you the best advice on what to use and where to get it (About Chris Garnons-Williams page details that no payment or commision to or from any donor of photos or adverts I place on the site in the Useful Data or other sections is made to Chris Garnons-Williams or Ivydene Horticultural Services). This website is a hobby and not for direct commercial gain for Ivydene Horticultural Services. There is no Google Adscenes or Search Facility in this website. The information on this site is usually Verdana 14pt text and all is in tabular form. This can be downloaded and sorted using WORD or other word-processing software into the order that you personally require, especially for soil subsidence, the Companion Planting Tables and the pages in the Plants section. This would be suitable for use in education as well. I put jokes in at various places to give you a smile. |

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:- |

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 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. |
