Trees in the garden provide beauty and healing. However, sometimes trees need to be pruned or cut down. This is an essential task for the healthy growth of trees, as well as for the safety of their surroundings.
On the other hand, there is a saying that cutting down a tree in the garden "brings bad luck. This is said to be because trees are the link between the natural world and the human world, and when they are cut, that link is severed.
However, taking care of trees begins with our everyday attitude, not just by hesitating to cut them down.
First, it is important to be aware of and familiar with the fact that trees are living beings, just like humans. We need to understand how trees go through their growth process and what role they play in our lives, and we need to take care of them.
Proper care is also essential to the growth of trees. Pruning and felling are necessary for the healthy growth of trees, so it is important to understand how and when to perform these tasks correctly. Furthermore, when pruning or trimming, care must be taken to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and to dispose of the cut wood.
Another way to renew a tree is to let it sprout again from the stump after it has been cut down. Sprouting is the process by which a plant produces new shoots from its roots or stump. This occurs primarily when a tree is damaged or cut down. The sprouting mechanism is part of the plant's survival strategy and is an important way for trees in particular to enhance their ability to regenerate.
Although they are fewer and farther between nowadays, in the past, there were many areas in Japan called satoyama, where people and nature coexisted in harmony.
In satoyama, trees and forests were managed using a method called natural regeneration. Natural regeneration is a process in which forests repair and regenerate themselves using the power of nature. After logging, naturally growing plants were selectively cultivated to maintain the health of the forest and support a diverse flora and ecosystem.
An attitude of caring for trees is needed not only in gardens, but also in forests, parks, street trees, and everywhere else. To understand the benefits that trees provide to people and to protect them, it is important to have an awareness of the importance of taking care of trees on a regular basis and to care for them appropriately.
Finally, if it becomes necessary to cut down a tree in your yard, it is recommended that you seek professional help. By hiring an expert with the proper skills and knowledge, you can ensure that the trees will grow healthy and the surrounding area will be safe and secure.
