AI Technical Summary
The horizontal growth of tree roots can damage the foundation of buildings, and current technology is unable to effectively suppress this problem.
The structure adopts an integrated design of above-ground and underground shells. The above-ground shell is an irregularly shaped decorative cover with a flared top, while the underground shell is polygonal or triangular. Combined with a limiting rod, it restricts the position of the rootstock, forming a physical barrier and guiding the root system to grow downwards.
It effectively protects tree roots from damage, reduces the risk of root damage to building foundations, and maintains the aesthetic appeal of the ground.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree transplantation technology, specifically a protective tool for inhibiting the lateral growth of roots in transplanted greening trees. Background Technology
[0002] With continuous urban development and the improvement of supporting facilities, ornamental trees or small fruit trees are often planted around buildings to beautify the environment and make full use of green areas. However, the underground root systems of trees spread outwards, and the roots of trees near buildings tend to grow towards the building's foundation, causing damage. To prevent tree roots from damaging building foundations, a protective tool to inhibit the lateral growth of transplanted tree roots is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above problems, thereby providing a protective tool to inhibit the lateral growth of roots of transplanted green trees.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the aforementioned problem is:
[0005] A protective tool for inhibiting the lateral growth of roots of transplanted green trees includes a cover that wraps around the rootstock of the tree with its soil ball. The cover is composed of an above-ground cover and an underground cover. The top of the above-ground cover is open, and the bottom of the underground cover is open. A limiting component is provided inside the underground cover near the top.
[0006] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a horizontally arranged limiting rod, the end of which is fixed to the underground cover; when planting trees, the rootstock with soil clump is stuck below the limiting rod to restrict the position of the rootstock.
[0007] Furthermore, the underground cap has a triangular or polygonal cross-section; it forms a multi-point interlocking with the soil surface, which can prevent the cap from rotating or shifting due to external forces or root growth pressure.
[0008] Furthermore, the above-ground enclosure is an irregularly shaped enclosure, with its bottom cross-section matching the cross-section of the underground enclosure and its top being circular; this enhances the aesthetic appeal of the above-ground enclosure exposed above the ground.
[0009] Furthermore, the top opening of the ground-level enclosure is a flared shape.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the outstanding features of this utility model, which adopts the above technical solution, are:
[0011] This utility model adopts an integrated combination of above-ground and underground shells. The above-ground shell is an irregularly shaped decorative shell with a round top and a flared opening. The underground shell is a polygonal or triangular cross-section shell. It not only meets the aesthetic requirements of the ground and protects the tree roots from damage, but also forms a physical barrier through the underground shell to limit the lateral expansion of the root system. It guides the growth direction of the tree roots downward and prevents the tree roots from growing extensively towards the building, thus reducing the risk of root damage to the building foundation.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model;
[0014] The markings in the diagram are: tree 1, cover 2, limit rod 3, trumpet mouth 4, rootstock with soil 11, above-ground cover 21, underground cover 22. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, the purpose of which is only to better understand the content of the present invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] See Figures 1-2 A protective tool for inhibiting the lateral growth of roots of transplanted green trees includes a cover 2, which is wrapped around the rootstock 11 of the tree 1 with soil clump. The cover 2 is composed of an above-ground cover 21 and an underground cover 22. The top of the above-ground cover 21 is an open structure, the bottom of the underground cover 22 is an open structure, and a limiting component is provided inside the underground cover 22 near the top.
[0017] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a horizontally arranged limiting rod 3, the end of which is fixed to the underground cover 22; when planting trees, the rootstock 11 with soil clump is stuck below the limiting rod 3 to restrict the position of the rootstock.
[0018] Furthermore, the cross-section of the underground cover 22 is triangular or polygonal; it forms a multi-point interlocking with the soil contact surface, which can prevent the cover 2 from rotating or shifting due to external forces or root growth pressure.
[0019] Furthermore, the above-ground cover 21 is an irregularly shaped cover, with its bottom cross-section matching the cross-section of the underground cover 22 and its top being circular; this enhances the aesthetic appeal of the above-ground cover 21 exposed above the ground.
[0020] Furthermore, the top opening of the ground cover 21 is a funnel-shaped opening 4; when using a hoe or a lawnmower during weeding, the weeding rope of the hoe or lawnmower may slip upwards and injure the tree 1 after contacting the ground cover 21. The funnel-shaped opening can prevent the tree roots from being damaged after slipping, thus ensuring the survival rate of the tree.
[0021] The cover 2 and the limiting rod 3 are made of ABS material. Once the tree survives and grows to the size of the top opening, the cover can be removed.
[0022] In use, insert the rootstock 11 of the tree with soil clump into the cover 2. The rootstock 11 with soil clump is locked under the limiting rod 3. Lower the tree rootstock and cover 2 together into the tree pit. First, adjust the height of the cover 2 so that the dividing line between the above-ground cover 21 and the underground cover 22 is level with the ground. Fill the outside of the cover 2 with soil to fix the cover 2. Then, hold the tree 1 and gently lift it upward. When the top surface of the rootstock 11 with soil clump contacts the limiting rod 3, fill the inside of the cover 2 with soil to complete the backfilling.
[0023] This utility model adopts an integrated combination of above-ground and underground shells. The above-ground shell is an irregularly shaped decorative shell with a round top and a flared opening. The underground shell is a polygonal or triangular cross-section shell. It not only meets the aesthetic requirements of the ground and protects the tree roots from damage, but also forms a physical barrier through the underground shell to limit the lateral expansion of the root system. It guides the growth direction of the tree roots downward and prevents the tree roots from growing extensively towards the building, thus reducing the risk of root damage to the building foundation.
[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification and its drawings are included within the scope of the present utility model.
