Tree Transplantation, Transplantation Protocol, Survival, Cost Effectiveness.Abstract
Due to urbanization and large infrastructure development projects, which need large areas to be cleared and hence removal of existing trees becomes inevitable. With technological advancement, tree transplantation has emerged as suitable technical option to save trees which also offers solution to couple the benefits of growth and development by relocating them to new location. This paper attempts to assess the potential and effectiveness of tree transplantation by reviewing different research studies, real time experience of global as well as national level. All the research evidences, available at global level and at India's level suggest that this technique is useful only for trees in the context o f its being very rare, historical or significantly important from several criteria, otherwise it is still not a very cost effective action. Knowledge of the effects of season of transplanting, post transplantation measures, damage evaluation of root system and cost of transplantation on establishment of landscape is prerequisite and commensurate action is desirable for effective tree plantation.References
