Nutritional value
A full -aged Linden tree can evaporate up to 400 liters of water on a hot summer day. This cools the surrounding air. Your filling makes young trees prosper and, thus, contributes to the cities more suitable for life.
Nice to know
Linden is about a quarter of street trees in Germany, followed by Achorn (15 percent) and oak (9 percent). Nevertheless, extreme weather phenomena, such as dry periods, increase – your inventory has been decreasing since 2017.
Preparation
1 (optional) Find a digital card or wood casting application
How many years are the trees in your area, where and how much water do you need? In many places, digital cadasters of trees, local applications or platforms for casting collect this information on maps such as Leipzig, pouring “or” Potsdam “. If possible, give you access.
2 Choose a tree
Choose a tree that is from 3 to 15 years. You can also simply determine the age of the trees similarly: skip the luggage volume at an altitude of 1.5 meters, divide the number of centimeters by 5 and multiply their old trees, you do not need to water, their roots already reach groundwater.
3 source of water
Listen or look at the neighborhood at the swing, water, rainwater containers or shops that want to sacrifice water. As an alternative, you can also look for public water sources in trees or casting. Or you use homemade water from the kitchen.

5 (optional) Do not forget to enter
If possible, document your water in digital form. Many casting applications register the water level on trees. With the entrance, you hold them, pour it – and make your obligation visible. This may cost: many initiatives appreciate their main founders!
