Morethanweeds Jon Burke π @gideoncorby Paul Wood π³ Andrew Heald Jeremy Barrell David J Elliott Trees for Cities Labourstone Many of our newly planted trees are wrecked by strimming at the base. Does glyphosate kill trees? We had a healthy tree removed in Bristol in a green space used by schoolchildren that has had ecoplugs inserted (Doublethink for Glyphosate plugs)
Vassili Jon Burke π @gideoncorby Paul Wood π³ Andrew Heald Jeremy Barrell David J Elliott Trees for Cities Labourstone Yes. There are surprisingly few studies on this practice, but published ones have shown that the use of glyphosate harms trees by increasing bark cracking in winter (which increases fungal infection & pest risks). It also affects mycorhizae which are important for nutrient intake
Morethanweeds Jon Burke π @gideoncorby Paul Wood π³ Andrew Heald Jeremy Barrell David J Elliott Trees for Cities Labourstone can you send Bristol Tree Forum πππ links to the papers? (love your twitter account)
