In the castle gardens of Muskauer Park, caretakers have mounted a fightback against the impacts of climate change
In the castle gardens of Muskauer Park, which straddles both banks of the German-Polish river border, caretakers have mounted a fightback against the impacts of climate change.
The young oak “will benefit from the roots of the old tree and will be more resistant to threats”, gardener Jana Kretschmer said., which weakens plants and has started to decimate the flora of the parklands on both sides of the Neisse river.“Every year since 2018 we have to cut down more and more trees,” said Kretschmer, the site’s deputy manager, who bemoaned the loss of countless old trees as a “catastrophe”.
Importing more resistant species of trees would be an option, but one that would be “neither sustainable, nor intelligent”, said park manager Cord Panning. In time, they hope to restore virtually all of the trees in the 19th century garden that have been lost and felled. Further south in Germany, at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, the spread of the phytophthora fungus and invasive mistletoe species are depriving trees of water.
