Standing at an important node along the Suzhou Creek, the century-old ginkgo biloba in East China University of Political Science and Law has witnessed the development and changes on both sides of the Suzhou Creek.
In the early stage of the reconstruction and design of the Huazheng section of Suzhou Creek, how to improve the surrounding environment without affecting the normal growth of ancient trees has become a problem.
Protecting ancient trees is to protect the ecology and historical context of the city
In this regard, the municipal and district ancient tree management departments have repeatedly gone to the site to investigate and investigate, and determined the use of permeable and breathable paving within the scope of the ancient tree protection area (5 meters outside the vertical projection of the canopy), increasing drainage facilities and full manual operations to protect the underground root system; adjusting the shrubs and ground cover planted under the ancient trees, and pruning the trees around the ancient trees.
Through the efforts of all parties, this century-old ginkgo biloba and the three Metasequoia "partners" around it have become the popular attractions of today - Ginkgo Temple. Suzhou Creek complements the historical buildings with Chinese and Western characteristics; under the premise of taking preventive measures, the ancient trees have withstood the baptism of typhoon "fireworks" and "candu", revitalized in Suhe Bay, and also become the pearl of the "Belt and Ten Points" in the Huazheng section of the Suhe River.
