4. Road Arboriculture
 Growing of trees along road side is called road
arboriculture. Trees can be grown on both urban as
well as rural roads. The trees should be planted at least
12 m way from the centre line of the carriage way. The
basic aim of planting the tree away from the centre line
is to maintain clearance at least equal to carriage way
width at the level of crown of trees.

6. Objectives of Road Arboriculture
The trees are grown on road side to serve the
following objectives.
 To provide attractive landscape of road side.
 To provide shape and comfort to road users and
make journey more comfortable.

7. Patterns of Tree Planting
 Trees are generally grown along both sides of the
road. As already stated that, the spacing of the trees
rows the centre line of carriage way should be at least
12 m, in case trees of wide crown type.
 A typical arrangement of urban and rural road
planning is as shown in fig.

8. Care of Trees
 Protection of Trees:
After planting the trees have to be looked after from
the attack of stray animals. Following measures can
be adopted for the protection of trees.

9.  Trenches : A round trench about 2.5 m in diameter in plan
is dug around the plant pit. Section of the trench is
Trapezoidal having about 40 cm bed and about 50 cm
depth..
 Open brick work guards : Open brick, tree may be
constructed around the trees. Tree guards may be circular
or square in plan. Thickness of tree guard is kept one brick
laid as heading.

10.  Iron guards : Iron enclosure are made around the
trees to protect them.
 Bitumen drum guards : P.W.D. has lot of used
bitumen drums in its possession.
 Barbed wire fencing: In this system four wooden
bullies are driven at four corners around the tree pit an
bardbed wire wrapped around them.
 Thorning trees: A protection around the planted tree
can be developed by using thorny cut tree branches.
But this measure is sort of temporary arrangement of
tree protection.

11. Maintenance of Trees:
 Watering : Watering is an essential feature of tree
maintenance. Method of watering and interval of watering
depends on type of tree, the land, climatic conditions,
water availability etc.
 Hoeing : Soil around the tree stem should be kept loose.
This helps in fast growth of the tree.
 Protection from frost: Plants which are likely to be
affected by cold should be provided protection by covering
them by thatching.
 Keeping trees straight: if plants get inclined they should
be given support with the help of bullies against the slope.
This helps keep the tree up right.

12.  Pruning and deforking: Pruning is the process
which is useful for making tree to grow straight and
in compact form.
 Lopping: It is process of train the trees in proper
shape during its growth. Branches interfering the
traffic and other adjoining trees are cut.
 Felling of trees: Matured trees if not cut in time,
will start decaying. Over matured trees and trees
which are very close to each other should be felled.

13. Implementation of the development proposal will
require the removal of the category, subject to
planning consent; although one of the more significant
trees on the site .
The category U English oak (T12) has a limited safe
lifespan and its
removal should be considered whether the
development proceeds
or not.
