It has been announced that the stone wall tree at Bonham Road CW/1 will be removed this week. We are glad to have been able to prolong the life of this amazing tree for an additional 3 years! Designed and installed in March 2021, our cable support system effectively supported the tree despite the brown root rot disease in the roots and our continued measuring of the load on the cables allowed for ongoing monitoring and reporting for public safety.
With sadness, we say goodbye to this great tree.

ATP had the pleasure of assisting with the design and installation of a unique tree support system for a Stone Wall Tree (and registered Old and Valuable Tree) for Highways Department at Bonham Road in Hong Kong in 2021. Identified to be infected with Brown Root Rot Disease, the tree was planned for removal for safety. However, due to considerable public response, the plan was changed to install the support system and preserve the tree.
Media reported that it was a case in which all parties - government, members of the public, public leaders, experts, and concerned groups were all satisfied.
"It is the joint effort of local community, District Councilors, concerned groups, public and government departments in supporting, communicating, and collaborating for preserving this Stone Wall Tree. It is the objective of Highways Department to retain this valuable tree and ensure public safety so as to achieve "People, Trees, Harmony."
In 2023, the tree still remains.

Our bare root tree transplant work in Hong Kong has given us a very unique insight into tree root morphology. We were able to confirm that, at least for this species, Ficus virens, there is a significant volume of fine roots directly below the trunk.
This 30cm (12") diameter tree was transplanted in Hong Kong in November 2020 and reached full recovery by March 2021, likely due to the fact that we were able to retain >90% of the roots!
We successfully transplanted 5 trees of similar size within the same period with a 100% survival rate.
If you have an interest in more details about this, I can share, just let me know - Jonathan Picker, Asia Tree Preservation, Ltd.

One aspect of our research work with HKUST has been the complete excavation of entire tree root systems. The roots were excavated and then suspended in the air with a crane. The research team then scanned every part of the root system with a high resolution 3D scanner followed by 3D printing of scale models for further lab testing using a wind tunnel and other controlled experiments.
Really exciting and groundbreaking work. We're happy to be a part of it!

Setting up for another round of destructive tree pulling tests today to simulate wind load for tree biomechanics research with HKUST. This time 360 degree filming with 12 GoPro cameras! It's going to be interesting!
