Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of support and protection, and in particular to a support and protection device suitable for ancient and famous trees. Background Art

[0002] A tree is a tall, woody plant composed of branches, stems, and leaves, and can live for decades. A tree support device is a device commonly used in tree planting and cultivation. It secures and supports the trunk of a growing tree, effectively supporting it and preventing it from falling over, allowing it to grow healthily.

[0003] Existing support devices for ancient trees mostly use rigid fixed structures, such as steel frames, concrete or wooden pile systems, which have significant limitations. Although the average annual growth of the diameter at breast height of ancient trees is only at the millimeter level, the accumulated radial thickening over decades will lead to continuous compression between the fixed support and the contact surface between the trunk, causing phloem damage and decay lesions. It is not easy to adjust the support as the tree grows. The changes in the center of gravity of the crown and the evolution of the root distribution are difficult to predict through static support. Local failure is prone to occur due to stress concentration during heavy rain or strong winds. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a support and protection device suitable for ancient trees and famous trees. Summary of the Invention
