Root growth and tree substrates

The discoveries made in recent years concerning root growth and the design of suitable tree substrates to develop a robust, load-bearing root space are being used by the Traffic Administration in the City of Stockholm to develop a concept to improve the life of urban trees. An important element in this concept is the systematic utilization of the rainwater from surfaced areas for watering of the trees in a well ventilated medium with high coarse-pore content.
