About 500 trees, 8 thousand. bushes and 2.6 million flowers are planned to be planted in Kharkov in the spring of 2021.

This was announced today, on February 12, at a meeting of the standing commissions on environmental policy of the Kharkiv City Council by the head of the ecology and improvement department of the Department of Housing and Communal Services Oleksiy Bogach.

According to him, 10-15 years old trees are planted in Kharkov, which take root well.. Most often these are maples and lindens, because birches and chestnuts grow poorly in an urban environment..

“Usually, twice as many trees are planted in a city than are demolished or crowned. This is our strategy. In total in the city of Kharkiv there are about three thousand demolished trees and about five to six thousand planted "

He also recalled that in the central part of the city (st. Sumskaya, st. Pushkinskaya and others. ) the root irrigation system has been operating for three years. With its help, it is possible to feed trees that grow along sidewalks, near roads with heavy traffic.
