& shy; The Araucaria heterophylla Wang who fell down last year will perform “bone-setting”.
& shy; Fuzhou News Network April 27 News (Fuzhou Evening News front row seat Yufen/Wen reporter Chen Jianguo/photo) since 2003, this newspaper has been paying close attention to the living conditions of China King of trees in the biological department of Cangshan former Normal University. On August 21 last year, this newspaper reported the news that a 151-year-old Chinese Araucaria heterophylla King in the biology department of the former Normal University and the current era Middle School fell down during the typhoon “sodiro”, and another contemporary Araucaria heterophylla was seriously tilted.
& shy; Recently, the teacher of time middle school reported to this newspaper: “The Municipal Garden Bureau is strengthening the inclined Araucaria cunninghamii Mudie you reported, and the fallen one should also be dealt.”
& shy; Inclined Araucaria heterophylla
& shy; Pick up the steel turn”
& shy; The reporter then came to time middle school and saw seven or eight workers from Hengdeli cement Resin Co., Ltd. busy under the severely tilted Araucaria heterophylla. The one-level listing protection has a hundred-year Araucaria heterophylla height of 35 meters, a chest diameter of 1.19 meters, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but this ancient wood is tilted 20 to 30 degrees to the northwest.
& shy; A 20-meter-long “steel ladders” has been set up beside the trunk of this tree, and the ladder legs are fixed on the newly built cement base. According to Mr. Liu, who is in charge of landscape construction on site, this support frame is made of galvanized steel pipe, filled with cement, and workers are making simulated bark for steel pipe.
& shy; Dead king of trees
& shy; Retain the original curing
& shy; Another ancient tree under construction this time is the “king of China’s Phoenix canariensis” protected by first-class listing “. This king of trees died of diseases and insect pests in 2012, and the trunk had been in place before. When the typhoon Sudiro hit in last August, the trunk was blown off again, leaving only 2 meters high.
& shy; Last year, this newspaper reported that the municipal garden department would solidify the residual trunk and keep it permanently, as the biological department of the former Normal University, it was once the material evidence of the famous “Zen Chen garden” in Qing Dynasty. When the reporter interviewed, the Phoenix canariensis Wang Bian had already set up scaffolding.
& shy; How to cure it? Mr. Liu said that first, the tree hole and the periphery were treated with insecticide and antiseptic, then a steel pipe with a diameter of 100cm was inserted in the middle of the trunk to support the tree body, then cement resin was poured, and finally the tree top was filled up, so that the rain will not penetrate, so that the original appearance of the trunk can be retained.
& shy; A ladder was held up beside the sloping Araucaria heterophylla.
& shy; Lodging King of trees
& shy; Bone surgery will be performed
& shy; Several meters beside the sloping Araucaria heterophylla tree is the king of China’s Araucaria heterophylla, which was scraped and fallen last year and protected by the first-class listing. In the broken part of this tree, part of the trunk has decayed, but half of the bark is still connected to the root.
& shy; After the intervention of the municipal garden department last year, the trunk was still seven or eight meters long, and now the trunk has drawn new branches.
& shy; “The root of this tree is not dead yet. We are going to kill and prevent the broken tree first, and then we plan to use wood combined with cement resin to fill the tree hole, quite ‘bone’ surgery on broken trees. The survival rate is expected to reach 95% after one month.” Mr. Liu of the construction party said.
& shy; Until yesterday, Wang Phoenix canariensis of China in time middle school has completed curing processing; The inclined Araucaria heterophylla support frame has completed simulation processing, and simulation roots will be added these days; the lodging Araucaria heterophylla plans to repair bones today and tomorrow.
& shy; Wang Phoenix canariensis, who died in the biological department of the former Normal University, received curing treatment.
& shy; The cement at the root is gone
& shy; Acer palmatum is growing happily
& shy; In front of the comprehensive building of affiliated middle school of Normal University, the Acer palmatum trees protected by the first-class listing are covered with tender green leaves. At a glance, the spring scenery is full of eyes, which makes people intoxicated. The tree pool has also expanded, reaching five or six meters in diameter.
& shy; On last August, when the reporter visited, the Crown was obviously not as big as it is now. At that time, part of the ground beside the root of the tree was sealed by cement, and the tree body was infected with germs and ants. The reporter reflected the tree feelings to the school at that time, and the school immediately reported to the municipal bureau of parks and forests.
& shy; “after the Spring Festival this year, the municipal garden department cracked down the cement pavement which sealed Acer palmatum roots, doubling the Tree Pool and ventilating the trees; The soil in the tree pool was also changed, the tree also hung nutrient solution.” The school staff told the reporter happily, “after entering April, new leaves grew on Acer palmatum. We found that the crown of the tree became bigger and the leaves were very green.”
& shy; In the past two days, the construction team carried out another anti-corrosion treatment, and filled the holes in the tree with cement resin to prevent ant damage and decay.
& shy; Old sunflower attached to Normal University
& shy; Curing has been completed
& shy; On the opposite side of Acer palmatum and in front of the attached middle school library, there is a four-or five-story old Sunflower (now the tree is listed as Queen sunflower), which is also an ancient tree that has experienced vicissitudes. Now it is only two or three meters high, and the tree body is supported by two galvanized steel pipes. On last August, when the reporter visited, he found the tree withered, leaving only a few leaves at the top.
& shy; Found that the situation was not good, the school immediately reported to the Municipal Garden Bureau.
& shy; “The Municipal Garden Bureau came here, and there was Rescue, but found it couldn’t work. After being identified by garden experts, it may be that the old man sunflower has lived up. Years ago, because of fear that the tree was too high, it fell down and hurt students entering and leaving. We dare not deal with it. The municipal garden department will cut branches on the dead old sunflower. In recent days, the construction team has carried out anti-corrosion, curing support and reinforcement for dead tree.” The school staff said.
& shy; At present, the protection project of these two ancient trees in the affiliated middle school of Normal University has been completed, waiting for acceptance.
