City plants twelve Hungarian oak trees along the mini northern motorway

Twelve Hungarian oaks have now been planted along the new connecting road between Barloer Weg and Burloer Weg, a mini section of the planned northern ring road.

These are replacement plantings after the row of trees failed to grow and thrive last year. The cause at the time was a pest infestation. The trunks of the newly planted trees are one size larger and are also treated with a pesticide as a precaution in spring, before the first beetle flight. This is necessary twice a year in the first two growing seasons, but not thereafter.

In general, the Hungarian oak is particularly suitable as a street tree, as it is considered heat-resistant and robust and forms a large, compact crown.
