Andreas Roloff. Chapter 1 of Urban Tree Management: for the Sustainable Development of Green Cities, on page 5. It reads:

 

"In past times, dance and court trees used to be very important. Dance lindens had a platform in the crown where dances were held; court lindens were used for meetings dedicated to law and order. The finding of justice was based on the belief that nobody would dare lie under a Tilia tree."

 

 

 

Is that pretty much the best book to get with regards Urban Tree Planning?

In essence, it's damn good.

Aye! Glad those older shots brought about a mini discussion though - many positive results.

A step back to a time where the threat of the European question meant an entirely different thing.
