TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

I'll point you at my blog post on this very subject, and the
entertainingly lively and sometimes vitriolic comments that followed it:

And to follow-up, a post showing just how popular arboricide seems to
be, according to those finding my blog through Google!

What ho etc etc.
I've just come back from looking at some trees that were maliciously
damaged
15 years or so ago. They didn't get killed obviousl but the damage is
still obvious; neatly drilled holes at the bases, presumably for weed
killer, the soils appear to have been polluted with oil, still apparent
after all this time, and also that old favourite Cu nails hammered in to
the trunk at ground level.
What I would like to know if someone cleverer than me could reveal, is
what is the objective of sticking Cu nails in a tree? Obviously it's a
nominally heavy metal albeit (according to my books) the least toxic of
them. Cu compounds are obviously used as fungicides so they won't do
the mychorrhizae any good...
Also has anyone ever sen a tree killed specifically by Cu nails?
Thanks as ever.
Bill.
PS/NB. I'm not mentioning Cu by its more common name, just in case
someone one day in searching out information on it's efficacy for tree
killing, should stumble on this thread and any info it may reveal. Don't
wanna make it too easy for em. Although Chris might very well tell me
I'm wasting my time being over-cautious.
