Mushroom infestation endangered stability - replacement planting is planned
In the Herrngarten, a heavily damaged silver maple (Acer Saccharinum) must be felled. The approximately 90 centimeter tree is massively affected by the paint porling - a wood -decaying mushroom that leads to so -called white rot and attacks both trunk and root work. Since the fragment and stability is no longer existed, the tree will be removed on Tuesday (May 6th) as part of the traffic safety obligation.
A check carried out on Monday (May 5) showed that there are currently no protected animal species - such as caves or nests - in the affected tree. Species protection was thus taken into account.
Restrictions on the surrounding paths can occur during the work. The green space office asks for understanding. As a replacement, a climate -like tree species is planted in the immediate vicinity in order to permanently secure the ecological function in the Herrngarten.
Further information on the tree population in Darmstadt is available on Darmstadt.de .
