Photo 5994 for Tree 81 - Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements:- Photo 5990 for Tree 81 - Photo 5991 for Tree 81 - Was the grower of this tree worried about the number of crossing branches rubbing against each other in a high wind and breaking up? Photo 5992 for Tree 81 - If my Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements as shown above, then this problem would not have occured. There are splits in the trunk with light brown new bark which indicates that this tree has been under an irrigation system. Photo 5995 for Tree 81 - Photo 5996 for Tree 81 - It is very kind for pedestrians to put their cigarettes out on the stones surrounding this tree. There are more than 100 poisonous chemicals in cigarettes as humans are made aware of - so this tree is going to appreciate being poisoned as the irrigate water dissolves those poisons and supplies them to their roots. Provide Cigarette Bins for smokers instead. Photo 5998 for Tree 81 - Photo 5997 for Tree 81 - At least these trees have been planted a sufficient distance from the road that the trunks are unlikely to move over over the concrete kerb as they mature. Since it is a parking area on this side of this road, hopefully drivers and their passengers will be careful not to bang their doors into the tree trunks. Photo 5999 for Tree 82 - Photo 6000 for Tree 83 - A cigarette was dropped while still lit, so that the tobacco and chemical concentrated in that tobacco have been burnt - trees are normally non-smokers. Photo 6001 for Tree 84 - It is unfair to put a shrub in this open ground in direct root competition with only 1% of the roots of this tree. |

Photo 6004 for Tree 85 - Photo 6002 for Tree 85 - Photo 6003 for Tree 85 - If my solution of CEDAdrive was used, then the plastic in the CEDAdrive would support humans and stop the stone within it from acting like chisels on the lateral roots. Hopefully the 3 inch (7.5 cm) gap between the plastic and the trunk would not be stepped on by humans, but at least there will still be at least 2 inches (5cms) of sharp sand and the green manure plants between the human and the lateral roots. The irrigation pipe will also be below the CEDAdrive or that will be replaced with pop-up sprayers to spray a larger area of the CEDAdrive slabs to irrigate a bigger area of the roots of this tree.. This combined with the Beany kerb edging and French Drain to reduce the volume of rainwater on the roads from overloading the main storm drains, should provide a better living condition for these trees. Photo 6007 for Tree 86 - Problem reduced if my Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements is followed. Perhaps we might persuade people not to drop their cigarettes alongside the tree - perhaps remind them of a little detail about their country where Madeira is Pirtuguese for wood, THAT WOOD BURNS AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF THE SUBCUTANEOUS FAT (be careful viewing this medical article - it contains a photo of bare skin) UNDER YOUR SKIN WAS SET ALIGHT? Photo 6005 for Tree 86 - This tree could be in a critical condition. Photo 6006 for Tree 86 - I am concerned about these trees, so I sent an email to the Honorary Consul for Madeira of the UK and received the following:- Hi.

Dear Honorary Consul for Madeira, I am concerned about the trees in the pavements in Funchal as you can = see from the following:- https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk = https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/plant%20with%20photo%20index/plantindexcg= wd1.html = https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/Photo%20Damage%20to%20Trees%20in%20Madeir= a%201/funchaltreecgw1.html = https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/Photo%20Damage%20to%20Trees%20in%20Madeir= a%202/funchaltreecgw14.html = https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/Photo%20Damage%20to%20Trees%20in%20Madeir= a%203/funchaltreecgw26.html = https://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/Photo%20Damage%20to%20Trees%20in%20Madeir= a%204/funchaltreecgw38.html Are you concerned for us visiting this island?

Photo 6010 for Tree 87 - What is enclosed within the cavity caused by rotting of the branch stump is difficult to know. Has this cavity been filled with small stones or broken up concrete with the netting to stop it falling out? With the gaps seen in the enclosed material all one can assume is that the cavity is continuing to rot. Carefully cut through the mesh an inch (2.5 cms) from the tree into the metal mesh to remove the major mesh section. Carefully remove the stones/concrete and rot. High pressure hose with water only the inside of this cavity from top to bottom. Remove the water from the bottom. Spray with boron solution. Spray bottom of hole with expanding foam and it is probably better to use cullet rather than bottles as the sandwich layer between that and the expanding foam, remembereing that the expanding foam has to be in contact with the tree. When the top of the lower cavity is reached, then spray the expanding foam into the top of the cavity. Allow to set, and spray again trying to make sure that no holes are left and then the final spray to fill the open part of the cavity. Let it set and carve the result to make sure it drains the rain, before applying the 2 coats of sealant. All of this in the same day. The final foam spray can cover over the remaining metal mesh so that it becomes part of the growing tree in the future. Remember to add photos and the repair history to the records about this tree to be held by the government who are responsible for public areas, so that when it is cut down, the tree surgeons and sawmill will know what to expect. Photo 6009 for Tree 87 - This tree in sending out its lateral roots and raising these concrete pavers.
Photo 6008 for Tree 87 - Take up this new section of tarmac and the tarmac to the length of the box girder system and the same width as to what was the new section of tarmac.. Lay a 6 inch (15 cm) box girder on sharp sand which replaces that tarmac in that area and extend this 2 metres (80 inches) beyond the tree roots acting as the kerb on each side of the trunk. Weld another 6 inch box girder to each end at rightangles and have it 20 inches (50 cms) horizontally into the pavement. This is too high for lorries and buses to ride over. Replace the tarmac with Topmix Permeable Concrete within CEDAdrive slabs. The depth of the Cedadrive slabs might have to be increased since traffic crosses it. Replace the concrete pavers with my solution for mosaic pavements. This system should provide the tree roots under the road with water etc and protect the tree from being repeatedly hit by the heavier traffic. The kerb is out of line from this tree to zebra crossing. Replace it with the Beany Block Kerb and French drains - which may be used to distribute water - irrigation system. Paint the top and the side facing the road of this box girder with yellow and black diagonal stripes to warn traffic of this hazard to their tyres.
Photo 6011 for Tree 87 - Photo 6013 for Tree 88 - Replace the pavement and kerb with my solution for mosaic pavements. If you plant trees in pavements again, then find out what their mature girth and trunk diameter is; so that you can add 12 inches (30 cms) as the clear distance from the kerb and half that mature diameter as the distance to plant the juvenile tree from that kerb. Follow the other recommendations for mosaic pavements etc and if this is viewed annually to see if part of the CEDAdrive panel needs to be removed, then replace it with sand etc to not impede the trunk growth. |

Photo 6014 for Tree 88 - Replace the pavers with my solution for mosaic pavements and use the box girder system I explained for Tree 87 instead of the concrete kerb. The inner edge of the box girder needs to be 3 inches away from the lateral root between the trunk and the current concrete kerb. Photo 6015 for Tree 89 - Follow my solutions for these problems and you can save the tree. There is an enviroment report carried out by The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in February 1992 and that is on Damage to Trees in Pavements of Funchal Page 45. It is possible that Madeira might take note. Photo 6019 for Tree 90 - The crossing branches need sorting out, as well as the watersprouts and forked leaders. Photo 6017 for Tree 90 - Photo 6020 for Tree 90 - Photo 6026 for Tree 91 - Replace the pavers with my solution for mosaic pavements and use the box girder system I explained for Tree 87 instead of the concrete kerb. The inner edge of the box girder needs to be 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the black area of broken tarmac nearest the tree. Use a CEDAdrive panel width for 3 metres each side of this tree with that new tarmac concrete formula in it to reduce the damage to the lateral roots under this road. Photo 6027 for Tree 91 - Same advice as in the last photo. Do remember to carefully remove the concrete pavers from under it and the concrete kerb and tarmac as well as my solution for the trunk damage. Photo 6028 for Tree 91 - You can see the reason for the box girder protection for this tree. Photo 6023 for Tree 91 - It restores my faith in man's inhumanity to man, but in this case to trees. Photo 6024 for Tree 91 - This tree is in a seriously poor condition while its trunk is rotting from its roots. Photo 6025 for Tree 91 - |

Photo 6022 for Tree 91 - The wounded branch stump has created a large cavity in the trunk of this tree. This requires urgent repair work using 1 of my solutions.
Photo 6032 for Tree 92 - Tree has overgrown concrete pavement, its kerb and the into the road. Its roots are breaking up the tarmac. The lighter colour of tarmac indicates where the tyres of the heavier traffic have compressed the tarmac. Because the lateral roots are under this tarmac, then the continual pounding keeps where the traffic is actually passing over in a compressed state, but where it does not the roots are trying to spring back and that is causing the break-up of the tarmac, especially within 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cms) of the trunk. "Tree root protection 3.2.2 TREE ROOTS AND BUILDINGS
These tables merit individual study, but a very general result covering 90% of cases can be given in terms of maximum tree-to-damage distance as:
The remainder of common species listed gave figures below 5 metres."

Photo 6056 for Tree 98 - My advice is start again, use a professional nursery with professionals planting it. Photo 6055 for Tree 98 on Page 27 - If you look at the large trees grown by Barcham, you will notice that they are multibranched and ready to plant within this extremely narrow space of 1 metre square - see Quercus robur Fastigiata and other trees suitable for pavements. It might be possible that they would plant them for you as well with their Planting Kit Plus and Tree Hydration bag (if you cannot be bothered to create an irrigation system as I have advised). Give trees a proper volume of soil for their roots as shown by Barcham and fertiliser to help them grow as shown by Barcham . Photo 6057 for Tree 99 - The metal box girder/lintel needs to be positioned at least 40 inches (100 cms) from the current kerb and my other solutions carried out if you want to save this tree. When you see the yellow bus in the background and the fact that there are 3 lanes of traffic all in the same direction of travel, then that restriction of 115 cms (46 inches) in the road width can easily be taken care of to keep these trees in this straight section of road to the Forum Shopping Centre. Of course the cheaper solution is have these trees replaced with pleached trees from Barcham in properly irrigated, nourished and gaseous exchange conditions (perhaps using my Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements - irrespective of what else is done this remedial work to all the pavements with trees in should be done within the first year to keep these trees). Perhaps it is best to replace the worst damaged to the least at 10% a year to reduce the shock to the population till all the trees in this section of pavements from the Cathedral to The Forum have been replaced. Then, provide a tree replacement system in a 30 year rotation. Get Barcham to provide the annual training courses to the maintenance staff for these trees; including photo/history record-keeping for each tree. Photo 6058 for Tree 99 - A temporary solution to the problem of trees jutting out into the road and the possibility of the roots being driven over, or the trunk driven into, could be solved with bell traffic bollards like the Bell 150 to protect the trees jutting into the road:-
Furnitubes constant development of the Bell bollard has resulted in the Bell being adapted to meet a range of varying specifications.
The smaller ones could also be used every 120 inches (300 cms) behind kerbs to stop vehicles parking on the pavement with its trees/flower beds. Ptoto 6059 for Tree 99 - Photo 6060 for Tree 100 - As usuall, use my solutions.

PERHAPS REPLACEMENT OF ALL THE TREES IN THESE PAVEMENTS USING TREES GROWN BY BARCHAM USING THEIR LIGHT POT SYSTEM WOULD BE SAFER FOR THE VISITING AND NATIVE POPULATION. IF SOME ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE LIGHTING DISPLAYS, THEN BARCHAM CAN GROW THOSE TREES APPROPRIATELY (when you see the growth of the pollarded Tree 80 in the front garden of Pestana Mirimar Hotel within 12 months, then it is possible that the trees grown by Barcham for lighting displays could display lights within 18 months of planting in the pavement, providing the recommendations from Barcham on how to attach the lighting system to those trees is followed). Photo 6055 for Tree 98 This tree was pollarded once planted. WHY? AND WHY WAS THE OTHER LEADER OF THE FORKED LEADER ON THE RIGHT PULLED OFF? WHAT DID THE PERSON DOING THIS THINK WOULD HAPPEN TO THE TREE WITH THE DAMAGE THAT HE HAD DONE IT? - HOP, SKIP AND PLAY WITH LOOPLA!!! If you look at the large trees grown by Barcham, you will notice that they are multibranched and ready to plant within this extremely narrow space of 1 metre square - see Quercus robur Fastigiata and other trees suitable for pavements. It might be possible that they would plant them for you as well with their Planting Kit Plus and Tree Hydration bag (if you cannot be bothered to create an irrigation system as I have advised). Barcham grow their pleached trees in the ground. Then, this tree is containerised in Light Pots for sale 12 months later. The tree can then be planted with 2 layers of weed-proof geotextile next to the kerb 18 inches (45 cm) from the trunk. This allows the trunk to become 38 inches (95 cms) in diameter before it reaches the concrete kerb and the roots will have been stopped from entering the ground, rubble, or foundations under the tarmac of the road. The roots including the lateral roots would still be all the way round the tree stabilising it and feeding it. Provided my solution for the entire pavement area is followed, then the roots can extend to fill under the top wearing surface. This would be irrigated and fed by the waste food products of restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and weekly markets as well as from the animal waste from chickens, turkeys, cattle, goats and pigs system I suggested. This is topped up with trace minerals etc from seaweed from seaweed farming (if the liquid in it is not saline, then the wet product could be used instead of having to dry it and then dissolving it back into water to irrigate with it). This is further supported by the use of green manure and the irrigation water supplied by stopping the waste from leaking toilets in the hotels and restaurants; and using it for the trees instead. The used bottles from the same establishments and the native population could be turned into cullet and used to repair the holes in the trees and to create part of the mosaic pattern in the top surface of the pavement. There we are in re-using the waste created by us and out activities in raising animals for our consumption to provide healthy trees, which do not just provide us with oxygen, but clean up after us by filtering the air to strip it of the dust particles from engines as well as the engine gases, it also improves our mental well-being by providing us with some nature to look at instead of man-made materials, like metal, concrete, tarmac and glass. We are also using the rain falling on the road and the water from the driveways of buildings alongside using the Beany Block Kerb and French Drain system, which would alleviate that rainwater flow from flooding the city centre as it stops the road drains in the valleys from accepting any more water. Win, Win and Win and improve people's mental life. Give trees a proper volume of soil for their roots as shown by Barcham and fertiliser to help them grow as shown by Barcham . |

What are garden 'thug' plants?
Invasive plants are those that can quickly get out of hand in the garden, even though they are not regarded as weeds and are commonly sold in garden centres. Think carefully about introducing these plants to your garden, and be prepared to carry out judicious pruning and digging or thinning out as required. Examples of such plants include: Trees and shrubs
Climbers
Bamboos, sedges, reeds and grasses
Herbaceous perennials
Crevice plants
Edible crops
Ground cover plants
Bulbous plants
Pond plants There are a number of aquatic plants that can easily get out of hand in a garden pond and are considered true weeds. Ideally these should never be introduced to the pond, though they sometimes come unwittingly with other pond plants. Continued in next column. |

Trees such as poplar and sumach have a tendency to sucker, sending up shoots all over the garden and even in neighbours’ properties. Many ground cover shrubs like the snowberry or Hypericum calycinum spread via underground stems (rhizomes), sending up new plants and gradually taking over the border. Some bamboos also behave in this way, becoming a constant source of regret for the gardener. Potentially invasive herbaceous plants and grasses, such as Japanese anemones and Phalaris arundinacea, form ever-enlarging clumps that require frequent division. Others, such as golden rod or weeping sedge also spread by seed, with seedlings popping-up in unexpected places where they are not wanted. Bulbous plants such as Oxalis can produce tiny new bulbs, or offsets, which are scattered every time a clump is dug up, spreading the problem rather than controlling it.
Control Digging out unwanted plants may work for a while, but is only likely to be a temporary solution. Judicious use of weedkillers may be necessary. For herbaceous weeds, try a programme of spraying using a systemic herbicide containing glyphosate – Roundup and Tumbleweed are common brand names of such products. For woodier plants, choose a stump or brushwood killer such as ‘Bramble Killer Ultra’ or ‘Deep Root Ultra Tree Stump & Weedkiller’. Beware putting invasive plants on the domestic compost heap, as this is unlikely to reach a high enough temperature to kill off tough roots or underground stems (it is all right if they have already been killed off with weedkiller). Instead, place them in the municipal green waste, as this is composted on an industrial scale, where tough weeds should be killed off. Burning may also be appropriate, but check your local Council guidelines. |
