Due to snow removal, trees such as ginkgo trees and royal cherry trees hurt.

Snow removal agents sprayed on the road when it snows have been shown to have a negative effect on street trees.

The National Institute of Forest Science said that street trees, such as Lee Pop, Wang Cherry, and Ginkgo trees, which are major tree species, have symptoms such as turning the edge of the leaf brown or reducing the size of the leaf due to snow removal.

In particular, 42 percent of the two pop trees grown on the side were affected by snow removal, which was up to 39 times higher in snow removal than healthy street trees, and in early spring, the leaves dried up, causing damage such as no leaves or the death of young trees.

The Korea Forest Research Institute said that when spraying snow removal agent on sidewalks, care should be taken, such as spraying it around street trees and far away, and not stacking snow sprayed with snow under street trees.
