Tree planting restrictions and limitations

There are many restrictions and limitations that have been put in place over the years when it comes to planting trees. In Irish forestry, there are many different restrictions and limitations. For instance, when a new forest is being planted there are a number of limitations that are imposed on the forest owner. One of these is involved with planting Sitka Spruce. The forest owner is only allowed to plant a certain number of these trees in any one plot of land, this number usually equates to about 70% to 75% of the total plants that will be established on any given plot.

This means that the timber grower must plant a couple of diverse species of tree in amongst the Sitka Spruce. For the most part, 20% of the remaining forests will be comprised of European Larch or Japanese Larch. Also, most forests that are going to be planted near habitations will need to have deciduous trees planted on the boundary, at least five or six trees deep. And, often deciduous trees are required to be planted within the body of the forest. Other areas where the planter is restricted from planting trees is where roadways are going to be left for future forest access.

Property developers are also going to come across problems when dealing with land and trees. Land prices can be very expensive these days, especially if there is previous planning permission attached. When a property developer has purchased this expensive property, or gone through the whole rigmarole of applying for and gaining planning permission to build a series of houses on a plot of land, he will want to make sure that he makes as full and profitable use of the land as possible. Tree planting in this case will come a long way down the list of his priorities. Fortunately, for the future residents of his property, most cases of planning permission being granted to build residential properties will now come with the provisions for green areas and the planting of trees.
