Planting under trees
Article Abstract:
A practicing arborist discusses the advantages of growing permanent flower-beds around the roots of huge trees but it is important to understand the physiology of each tree before going ahead with any such design. It is often found that the closer one plants a flower bed near the existing tree trunk, the higher the chances of root damage, which may not immediately kill trees but could seriously harm them over a period of time.
