Even a Tree Needs Love
Part 5

For example, if you have a three inch caliper tree, it would have a root zone radius of five feet from the tree trunk (3 inches x 20 equals 60 inches, which is equal to five feet). Knowing your tree's root zone gives you a guideline as to where you can and cannot do construction work.

Once you know your root zone areas, you want to take care not to excessively agitate it. During construction, absolutely do not disturb more than 40% of the root system of the tree.

Also, try to avoid heavy equipment going across the root zone, and deter from heavy digging as well. Removing or otherwise disturbing a lot of a tree's root zone will hinder its ability to take up nutrients through the roots.

You will also want to take care not to alter the ground level or cover it with a non-porous surface. Changing the elevation around the tree and the tree's root zone can be very damaging. If you remove soil, you remove some of the roots, and adding soil on top of the original level will smother the root system.

You can also smother the roots by paving over or otherwise blocking air and water access to the roots. If adding some sort of hardscape is unavoidable, try to use a wood deck or loose material that will leave the soil open for air and water to penetrate.

Once trees establish themselves in their soil, they are very picky about it, and are very slow to change when the surrounding area shifts about.

Combining these physical aspects of tree care into your landscape maintenance regimen with the biological practices discussed in the previous article will be a great benefit to your property.

To know that you are helping these splendid plants grow into healthy, mature towers of nature can make you feel very proud. It is always wondrous to know that we have the power to make our landscape a gorgeous symphony of nature, even if it is by one tree at a time.

* caliper -- this is a form of measurement of tree size. The number of caliper for a tree equals the diameter of the trunk measured from six inches off the ground for trees with 4" caliper or less. For trees larger than 4", the measurement is taken from 12 inches off the ground.

** D.B.H. -- this is an acronym for "diameter at breast height." It is a form of measurement of the size of trees. The number of D.B.H. equals the diameter of the trunk taken at 1.5 metres off the ground, or 4.92'.
