Brooklyn can be a difficult place to grow trees. The pressures of a city restricts planting space, and trees don’t always get the care they need. These trees were planted with DeepRoot UB 18-2 in a linear style, putting the protection where it is most needed, on the sidewalk and curb side. In this case the linear style gave a greatly expanded soil volume and the trees have responded, developing into a true neighborhood asset, and DeepRoot has prevented any sidewalk damage or liability concerns from a trip and fall hazard.
