+ | Almost all parks are protected. | ||
+ | The trees in Regional parks and on Regional roads are signed with a number. Nevertheless, the numbering system is different for trees in parks and trees along regional roads, 'just because the system was already in place' in the two different institutions that manage these trees: | ||
+ | * regional roads Dept Monuments & Landscapes: f.ex. Av Royal Forest 107.01.156 | ||
+ | First number | ||
+ | * regional parks BIM/IBGE: f.ex. Parc of Laken nr 2508 | ||

+ | The newly planted trees in the city of Brussels have only been registered since 2008. In 2011 the city started an (non-publicly accessible) inventory of all trees in 1000 Brussels. It is not finished yet. The rumour goes there are about 40000 different trees. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Region has set up a public database on ' | ||
+ | Selection criteria are: a considerable trunk (at 1,5m), the localisation (the more visible for the more people, more remarkable), the frequency (less frequent, more remarkable), the historical value (referenced in literary and other works), the age, the individualisation (in group, less remarkable) etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The team of the 'Cel Groene Zones' of the city of Brussels has selection criteria to chose trees to plant. The trees are ' | ||
+ | * their roots resist salt (in winter) | ||
+ | * they resist pollution (cars/busses) | ||
+ | * they resist litter & vandalism (when you break a branch of a fruit tree it will not survive) | ||
+ | * they can stand presence of humans at their roots (a walnut tree needs rest at the roots for the first 15y of its life, treading the soil condenses the soil and puts pressure on the roots) | ||
+ | * they are easy to maintain and don't cause too much trouble for inhabitants (leafs that fall off, block the sewage etc) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Trees that are frequently planted: plataan, ash, lime tree, hazel, hawthorn | ||
+ | Another criteria that is on stake for trees in the city: the presence of sewage, waterinfrastructure, | ||
