會員們:

 

本會會長歐永森由於業務上的關係,上星期往英國英格蘭環島開車跑了一個圈,東西南北走了超過兩千公里的路。  除了業務以外,他也走遍大街小巷去看樹,這是他的個人興趣。  他輯錄了過千張當地市區種樹的圖片,但由於電郵轉送限制,只能收綠當中的數十張,在會訊中與會員們分享。

 

英國種樹已有過千年的歷史,比美洲的新興國家悠久得多。  從前英國種樹主要為了燃料、建築材料和建造戰船,直至大英帝國繁榮昌盛的時候,才逐步轉化為城市綠化。 

 

從附上的圖片中可以看到,許多見到的英格蘭的樹木,都是過去二、三十年才種上去的。  從樹木的設計、徤康、結構安全和配置合理性來看,這些樹木基本上都達到國際水平,與他看過的其他西方國家相比,他也不得不豎起大姆指來給一個讚,英格蘭的樹種得確實不錯 !

 

很多時候,當我們需要量度不能用數字來決定的事情,比如種樹,往往唯一的標準就是相互比較。  看到英格蘭的種樹,用其比較大中華地區裡的種樹,大家同樣是種下二、三十年,但在質量和效果方面,似乎相差甚遠,這也包括香港這個由英國人管過的城市在內,為甚麼哪?  聽說英格蘭城市的種樹是另聘專業樹藝師,從樹木的設計、選種、栽種、護養到檢查,全要按照當地標準嚴格進行,所以成績有目共睹。  那我們的又怎麼樣啊?  可以與他們的比較嗎?  不敢?  為何?

 

樹藝並非一種紙上談兵、只講不做的專業。  大樹老樹也經常站立城市高點,為人所共見。  當今的國民經常周游列國,絕對可以比較種樹。  如果每年只顧大灑金錢來種樹,但到頭來又效果不彰,這樣子用紙來包火,又能包多久呢?

 

謹此致意!

会员们:

 

本会会长欧永森由於业务上的关係,上星期往英国英格兰环岛开车跑了一个圈,东西南北走了超过两千公里的路。  除了业务以外,他也走遍大街小巷去看树,这是他的个人兴趣。  他辑录了过千张当地市区种树的图片,但由於电邮转送限制,只能收绿当中的数十张,在会讯中与会员们分享。

 

英国种树已有过千年的历史,比美洲的新兴国家悠久得多。  从前英国种树主要为了燃料、建築材料和建造战船,直至大英帝国繁荣昌盛的时候,才逐步转化为城市绿化。 

 

从附上的图片中可以看到,许多见到的英格兰的树木,都是过去二、叁十年才种上去的。  从树木的设计、徤康、结构安全和配置合理性来看,这些树木基本上都达到国际水平,与他看过的其他西方国家相比,他也不得不竖起大姆指来给一个讚,英格兰的树种得确实不错 !

 

很多时候,当我们需要量度不能用数字来决定的事情,比如种树,往往唯一的标準就是相互比较。  看到英格兰的种树,用其比较大中华地区里的种树,大家同样是种下二、叁十年,但在质量和效果方面,似乎相差甚远,这也包括香港这个由英国人管过的城市在内,为甚麽哪?  听说英格兰城市的种树是另聘专业树艺师,从树木的设计、选种、栽种、护养到检查,全要按照当地标準严格进行,所以成绩有目共睹。  那我们的又怎麽样啊?  可以与他们的比较吗?  不敢?  为何?

 

树艺并非一种纸上谈兵、只讲不做的专业。  大树老树也经常站立城市高点,为人所共见。  当今的国民经常周游列国,绝对可以比较种树。  如果每年只顾大灑金钱来种树,但到头来又效果不彰,这样子用纸来包火,又能包多久呢?

 

谨此致意!

Dear Station Members,

 

Attached are some photographic images of urban tree planting taken by the Station Manager (SM) during his trip to England, UK last week.  These photos were taken randomly as he drove some 2,000+ km in a 6 day trip, in pretty much a circle around this island country.  He has visited dozens of cities & towns big & small on the way.

 

A picture can tell a thousand words.  Seeing it from the point of view of an Arborist, these English trees can very well match the world in terms of quality & health.  England must have some good practitioners looking after these trees.

 

And not just from the point of view of maintenance, most of these trees were well spaced & properly selected to serve their functions.  It appears that the trees were picked in accordance with their natural needs, & they were chosen to plant to last.  This may be something that our territory wishes to compare & learn.

 

A tree normally lives longer than a human being, if it is selected correctly, & placed properly.  It is always right tree for the right place, or Mother Nature makes the rule.  The tree itself will not lie.

 

May these English trees grow stronger & more beautiful when the SM can see them again in future.   The SM has spent a fifth of his life in England, & he is looking forward to return to this place anytime.

 

best regards,

 

Sammy Au
