◆Examples of initiatives

●Creation of a target management tree diagram

Create a target management tree diagram for the routes targeted for the business.
To make the size and shape of the tree suitable for the space, surrounding conditions, tree species, etc.
Plan the target tree shape and pruning method.

●Briefing Session

We invite street tree pruner (outside site) instructor as lecturer for supplier performing pruning or the staff of city in charge and hold briefing session.

Before pruning (ginkgo)

●Sample pruning

Prior to the pruning work, sample pruning is performed based on the target management tree diagram to create a sample tree shape.

After that, under the guidance of a street tree pruner (outside site), pruning work is performed based on the sample tree shape.

In addition, after pruning, photos of typical trees are taken and recorded, and used as a reference for the next pruning.

After the first pruning (Ginkgo)

It takes a few years to take the tree shape.

In addition, when it is necessary to re-create trees, strong pruning (cut thick branches and trunks) may be performed.

In order to further improve the aesthetics of road planting, we are also enhancing maintenance and management work such as mowing in some areas, such as the coastal area of the city center.
