Bark bursts open
Will trees in the city soon have to wear sunscreen?
30 trees currently have to be felled in the city center. They have succumbed to their "burn wounds". The district calls for "sunscreen".
Excitement in the inner city. Recently, the district parliament received 30 applications for tree clearance. Most of them concerned trees on the Ring. They now have to be felled. The reason: sunburn!
No protection from the sun
What may sound entertaining at first glance harbors great risks. Green Club Chairman Alexander Hirschenhauser: "The phenomenon is caused by intense sunlight. The bark then bursts open, pests invade and the tree is doomed to die."
What is striking about the current victims is that both young and 80-year-old trees were affected. None of them had already reached their potential life expectancy. There is now a sense of alarm in the district.
Call for sun cream
Hirschenhauser: "Due to massive climate change and environmental influences, more and more trees are likely to die." That doesn't have to be the case. In southern Europe, this phenomenon is combated with white paint - a kind of sunscreen made from lime. In the district, this protection is now required for particularly exposed plants of all ages. Previously, only young trees were protected in this way. A motion to this effect has now been unanimously approved.
