會員們:
自 “樹木辦” 成立以後，香港罕有的在一週內接連發生兩宗嚴重樹木倒塌傷人事故，受到當地傳媒廣泛報導。
1. 舊政府總部塌樹傷人事件
有關的報導可在以下連結取得：
從報導所述，倒塌樹木的根部已經產生了一定程度的腐爛，大樹很有可能是根腐病而導致倒塌。 由於大樹在不久以前才通過 “風險評估” ，看來檢查方可能會被追查原因和究治責任，說不定將會麻煩多多。
樹木檢查是一門專有學問，對大樹老樹的檢查更加不可以馬虎，否則倒下來特別是傷人的時候，這就不能開玩笑了。
- 2. 般咸道 “石牆古樹” 倒塌傷人事件
由於這次倒下來的是香港當中最大的 “石牆樹” ，此樹也列入到 “古樹名木冊” 裡面去，倒塌的時候又砸傷兩名途人，所以事件在香港受到廣泛報導，也是香港傳媒今年以來報導得多最緊密的塌樹事件：

本會從國際連系裡，也看過由香港洋人放上去的有關這次樹木倒塌意外的圖文，相信這次事件已經被到處傳揚了。
与上面 “舊政總” 的塌樹意外一樣，據報導這棵古樹也曾接受定期檢查，而真正事故的成因須待完成詳細調查以後公佈了才好說，胡亂猜測不是專業樹藝師的職業操守。
上述兩起塌樹事件，應為中華地區的樹藝行業敲起了警鐘，讓某些以為取得了證照便知道了一切的人，來一個當頭棒喝。 得知樹藝行業並非只靠上課唸書、聽聽講座那麼簡單，如果忽略實戰經驗和對外交流，最終吃虧的只是自己。 因為當有一天當自己被 “問責” 起來的話，乾有 “牌照” 是完全阻擋不住，需要面對的可能是各級法院和不同專家，對方也會完全不客氣，如果抵擋不了，則唯有自求多福吧 .....
謹此致意!

Dear Station Members,
Recently, two serious tree failure incidents happened in HK within a week. Both cases involved personal injuries, & have been widely reported in the local media.
- Tree failure at the Old Govt HQ
Media reports in Chinese with photos can be viewed at the following links:
a. http://s.nextmedia.com/realtime/a.php?i=20150720&s=10829391&a=53994632
b. http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20150720/bkn-20150720194817162-0720_00822_001.html
The tree was reported to have gone through regular inspection within months. It can be seen in one of the media reports that root rot was apparent at the tree base. Whether this is the reason for the tree failure, it will be up to the authorities investigating it at the end.
- Bonham Road Old & Valuable Wall Tree failure
This incident has been widely reported in the HK media because the tree was said to be the biggest Wall Tree in HK, & is listed in the Old & Valuable Tree listing. Relevant media coverage can be found in the following links:
a. http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20150722/bkn-20150722121902990-0722_00822_001.html
b. http://s.nextmedia.com/realtime/a.php?i=20150722&s=10829391&a=54001856
c. http://s.nextmedia.com/realtime/a.php?i=20150722&s=10829391&a=54002348
d. http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/realtime/breaking/20150723/54004976
e. http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20150722/bkn-20150722174548326-0722_00822_001.html
f. http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20150722/bkn-20150722174257886-0722_00822_001.html
Like the above incident, this tree had undergone regular inspection by contractors. The most recent inspection was said to be carried out in June.
It would be difficult to account accurately why the tree suddenly failed without obtaining detailed facts & evidence, but experienced Arborists might have some hide sight by comparing the growing condition before & after the failure. Maintaining such a huge tree on a stone slope would be a big challenge.
As two serious incidents have happened within such a short period of time, the authorities may begin to investigate why the system does not appear to work to reduce serious tree failure. As for any tree planting, Mother Nature makes the Rules, not us. If the authorities ignore this fact but to insist on their own ways to conduct “tree management”, then it will be good luck to the trees of HK, & to their people too.
