Method for protecting trees against harmful environmental influences

摘要

For prevention against premature tree death, trees 1 are provided with a vertically rammed in electrically conducting earthing rod 20, the upper end 25 of which lies under the earth surface 8 at a small distance from the tree axis at the level of the root system 5. The lower end 21 of the earthing rod 20 preferably extends down into a layer 13 conducting groundwater. To the upper end of the earthing rod, via a radial wire piece 27, a loop-shaped earth contact wire 26 laid in the ground 9 at the level of the root system 5 can be connected. The earthing rod 20 or earth contact wires 26 of adjacent trees 1 can be interconnected by an earth connection line. IMAGE
