[CANUFNET] Looking for hard surface planting experiences/successes

[Astrid Nielsen]

Dear urban forestry colleagues,

We are working on a project with our local Business Improvement Association
in Ottawa to examine the barriers around successful hard surface tree
establishment along our main street, and how to overcome them. We have
completed a cursory literature review, but with limited data, I am reaching
out to the UF community with hopes that some of you will be willing to
share your anecdotal experiences on what you feel are the best ways to
plant trees successfully in hard surfaces. We recognize that soil volume is
a significant barrier, and will be making recommendations to increase this,
where possible, and incorporate the use of soil cells, if feasible. For
situations where this is not an option, what are the next best
alternatives?

If any of you have experience in your areas with hard surface planting, I
would appreciate learning from you!

Please feel free to contact me directly if you prefer:

Thank you,

Astrid
