“We will plant plants this year square Central half of the over a hundred trees planned in the project. These are carefully selected specimens from as many as eight different species that will soon decorate the square under construction. informed late October Warsaw ZDM on Facebook. The management board also revealed that the tree specimens were selected personally at a nursery in Brandenburg – which caused a wave of negative comments.
“Another für Deutschland”. Poles criticized the Warsaw ZDM regarding trees
“We want to achieve the desired effect quickly, which is why trees with high nursery parameters are delivered to Warsaw. The selection of specific trees in the nursery is a key moment that allows us to guarantee that each of them will be healthy and adapted to new conditions,” ZDM further explained. However, this information did not sufficiently satisfy Internet users, who began to attack the Management Board and the authorities of Warsaw in the comments.
“What a lot of work it took to create a tender in such a way that no tree nursery in Poland would be suitable, well done, comrade Rafale. Next money in Germany instead of Poland,” we read in one of the entries. “The money will go to Germany again, because Trzaskowski said that Germany is in a worse situation and they need to be helped. Another für Deutschland” – wrote another comment. “Why from Germany?!? Can't buy in Poland? The city should support domestic business,” another Internet user asked. ZDM decided to respond to most of the unfavorable comments.
ZDM responded to the allegations. “We don't deal in conspiracy theories”
The Warsaw management board decided to respond to the negative entries to explain why such a decision was made regarding the trees. “We do not deal with conspiracy theories,” ZDM said in several comments, adding to them link and encouraging you to read the article titled “Where do trees come from”.
We can learn from it that “only a few nurserymen in our country sell so many large specimens that are necessary to complete the ZDM investment.” The reason is simple – it takes years for the trees to grow sufficiently and meet all the requirements of the planned investments. “In Poland, purchasing almost identical, 'adult' trees in such numbers from one nurseryman, which is to guarantee a similar tree shape, is not easy and due to the more difficult conditions (frosty Winterdry summer) more expensive,” described the Management Board. The article even recalled that, among others, in 2022, trees from the Dmowskiego roundabout were planted Czechmaple trees from the Netherlands were placed on Pięciu Rogów Square, and in 2023, trees from a German nursery in Hamburg were planted on Trzech Krzyży Square.
