Broad-leaved Trees Planted-One year old trees of Cinnamomum Camphora to the number of 4,300 were added to the existing plantation at Tai Wo Po.
Large numbers of trees were used in the extension and maintenance of roadside planting, the species used being Melaleuca Leucadendron, Cinnamomum Camphora, Bauhinia Blakeana, Bauhinia variegata, Celtis sinensis, Poinciana regia, Bischofia javanica, Albizzia Lebbek, Eriodendron anfractuosum (Kapok), Sterculia lanceolata, Tristania conferta, Crataeva religiosa, Aleurites Fordii, Aleurites montana and Aleurites triloba.
Miscellaneous Planting.-In a recess at the base of an old landslide in Chamberlain Road, 34 Albizzia Lebbek and 32 Bauhinia variegata were planted, on the bank above the recess 252 Ficus repens were planted in cement-sided pits prepared by the Public Works Department.
On Cheung Chau Island various trees to the number of 434 were planted on plots adjoining public paths and buildings.
One plot of land at the junction of Park and Bonham Roads and another at Ho Mun Tin were turfed and planted with Poinciana regia and Hibiscus Lambertianus.
On vacant ground adjoining Gough Hill Police Station a group composed of 40 mixed trees, shrubs and Palms was planted.
In Stanley Military Cemetery a further planting of 148 trees was carried out.
Increased numbers of Casuarina equisetifolia were planted on areas where high winds render the growing of more decorative trees impossible, this useful tree offers little resistance to the wind and if damaged by high winds, usually makes a quick recovery.
Roadside rockeries in various parts of the Colony were regularly overhauled and replanted as required.
Trees felled-Large numbers of Pinus Massoniana and broad-leaved trees were removed during the year in connection with road improvements, extension of reservoir catchment areas, sales of building lots and leasing of areas for growing cattle fodder.
In the interest of public safety and on account of the increase of vehicular traffic it was found necessary to remove large roadside shade trees from Queen's, Wong Nei Chong, Chatham and Caine Roads and land adjoining Police Stations at Au Tau, Ping Shan and Tsun Wan.
