How can data-driven care help planting outcomes?Conference told improved outcomes include faster growing and reduced tree losses

摘要

After a difficult year for establishing new trees, a Danish tree manager has given UK colleagues a breakdown of how scheduled irrigation overseen by a tree management system not only prevents losses but also boosts growth.Lars Schultz-Christensen, who previously worked as head gardener for the city of Copenhagen, told the recent National Tree Officers Conference in Telford that "data-driven maintenance" enables trees in the Danish capital to grow "much faster than we expected" and so deliver more ecosystem services sooner.
