But for the project to TRANSPLANT TREES ONE HAS TO FIND MATUREES SOMEWHERE
where they will be dig up with a large enough root ball around it and tranported to the site of new placement and again with appropriate diggers machines will be positioned in the new large enough a hole in the soil and prepared base with appropriate fertilizers etc and set up the fully mature tree and then prop it up for several years and water and feed it, judiciously prune it etc... BUT WHERE WILL THIS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT UPROOT THE MATURE TREES FROM? WHY CUT DOWN THE ALREADY 60, 70 or 100 year old trees and then try to uproot some more from someplace, from someone's property etc... its madness and hoodwinking the public!!! Has the govt set up rules about where to get the mature trees from? we dont have any nursery in india that has 60, 70 80 or 100 year old trees that can be dug up from their grounds to be transplanted, if there are I would like to know!!! At least I have not seen them on the internet.... if there are they are obscure ... and a well guarded secret.. == *Tapas da* success rate depends on who is telling you about them... govt or concerned citizen watch groups? usha di On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 10:10 PM, Tapas Chakrabarty <tchak...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am familiar with this term, `tree transplantation'. > May I know what is the success rate? > Regards, > Tapas. > > On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 2:41 PM, Kiran Srivastava <srivastava...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Having all these superfast 4-6 lane expressways is fine but I lament the >> lack of large, old shady trees that used to line our highways : I recall >> the Grand Trunk Road in the northern part of the country, where weary foot >> travelers could stop, take their meager repast and a short snooze.
