On the afternoon of May 11th, the reporter came to the Tianhe South 1st Road community, the pruned trees were mainly concentrated in the maritime community west of the central axis square, the scene can be seen that the branches of many trees have been pruned, leaving bare trunks, and many pruning departments still have fresh sawdust, it can be seen that the pruning did not take long, and the open square is less shade and more empty.
Property Center:
There is a hidden danger of lodging trees and injuring people
Trees need to be pruned and optimized urgently
The reporter noticed that many trees were hung with reminder signs such as "dangerous areas, do not approach" and "stormy trees are easy to fall down, do not park under the trees". On May 7, the "Community Pruning Tree Announcement" posted by the Tianhe Property Service Center on the South Road of Tianhe South Street mentioned that Guangzhou has recently entered the rainy season and flood season, with frequent storms and rains. To this end, after the on-site appraisal of the relevant departments, it is necessary to urgently prune and optimize the trees in the maritime community. At the same time, according to the growth of trees in the community and the direction of the wind, the branches that are close to the window sill of the residents and affect the daily life of the residents will be pruned, and the large trees with loose roots, weak roots and will be blown down by strong winds at any time will be pruned to about 3 to 6 meters.
Tianhe Property Service Center also said that if there is any objection to the pruning plan, it can submit written comments within 2 working days (May 7-May 8).
Residents of the community:
Excessive pruning affects shading
Regarding the pruning of trees in the community, the owner of a shop in the community said that there are indeed safety hazards due to the overabundance of trees, and he has no opinion on the extent of tree pruning.
Aunt Liang, a resident of the community, said that the recent heavy rains have continued, and pruning trees can indeed reduce safety hazards, but too much pruning will leave no shady space.
The reporter learned that on April 29, the Guangzhou Municipal Forestry and Garden Bureau issued the "One Picture to Understand the "Guangzhou Tree Pruning Guidelines" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), and the tenth article of the guidelines "Emergency Pruning Schematic Diagram" is clear, and the pruning of drooping branches and first-class branches should be controlled according to the wind resistance of trees at 0.5-0.7. For trees with partial crowns, the canopy should be balanced to reduce external deviation. When dealing with special situations such as typhoons that hit head-on, safety is a top priority, and the pruning can be increased to minimize the risk of tree lodging.
At the same time, the guidelines also clarify the "truncated dry pruning", "truncated pruning", "truncated pruning" and other non-standard pruning. Judging from the on-site situation of the marine community, it may involve non-standard pruning.
Community Neighborhood Committee:
Over-pruning has been blocked and escalated
We will supervise the management of trees in the later stage
The neighborhood committee of Tianhe South 1st Road Community of Tianhe South Street, Tianhe South Street, said that a tree was dumped in the community in early April, and another tree was dumped on May 6, so the property owner was more nervous, so it was pruned, and after finding that the tree was "over-pruned", the community had stopped it in time and reported it. In the future, the community will strengthen daily inspections of trees under its jurisdiction to avoid similar situations.
The Tianhenan Sub-district Office said that it had not received the initiative to report from the maritime community, and that the property in the community was pruned without authorization, and it was reported to the Tianhe District Housing Construction and Garden Bureau after it was found, and the property will be urged to do a good job in the later management work.
