Trees for Cities

About 30 years ago, DBKL planted a variety of fast growing trees. The idea was, to quickly transformed KL to a city within forest. Now the very same trees are giving DBKL problems. They are no longer healthy, they are not able to withstand tropical storms. A number of cases, the trees collapsed on vehicles and peoples on foot, causing death and destruction.

Planting On Ground - My IBT Fig

Planting on the ground has a lot of advantages. You do not worry about too much water, as the drainage is better.

The Green Jordan that was planted 10 Sept 2016
After the planting, it rained heavily for 2 days, so was worried that the new plant will be flooded.

So I devised a method to cover it. This was why the plastic sheet appeared over the seedling.

The cover and I hope the wind is not too strong to blow it away
