What kind of trees are suitable for planting on the roof?

Question 1: What plants are suitable for roof gardens? General principle: Choose plants with short plants and shallow roots. Tall trees have deep roots and large crowns, but the roof is windy and the soil layer is too thin, which is easy to be blown down by the wind. If the soil layer becomes thicker, it will increase the weight. Moreover, the developed roots of trees are easy to deeply tie the waterproof layer and cause leakage. Therefore, roof gardens should generally choose plants with relatively low roots, drought tolerance, cold tolerance and barren tolerance. There are mainly the following categories. Sedum: Sedum lineatum, Sedum sarmentosum, Sedum dentatum, Sedum aureum, etc. Local lianas: perennial herbs such as Catharanthus roseus and Ivy: short-flowered shrubs such as Dianthus caryophyllus, Thyme, Coreopsis, Aralia, Aster: short-flowered shrubs such as Lagerstroemia indica, Malva, Hibiscus, Buxus microphylla, Fusang and False Forsythia: white orchids, roses and snow. Roof garden is relatively high, windy, thin soil layer, long illumination time, large temperature difference between day and night, low humidity and low water content. You can choose flowers and trees that like light, are wind-resistant, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, drought-resistant, ridge-resistant and have strong vitality. It is best to use shrubs, bonsai, turf and other plants to meet the requirements of shallow soil layer, and try not to use trees with tall main roots. If it is used, it should be planted where the load-bearing columns and walls are located. Vines: grapes, fireworks, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, wisteria, lingxiao, ivy, honeysuckle, morning glory, etc. Hedges: boxwood, holly, Berberis, Japanese thorn plum, Ligustrum lucidum, pearl plum, hibiscus, etc. Pollution-resistant tree species: fig, mulberry, acacia, hibiscus, jasmine, osmanthus, palm, etc. Flower shrubs: Camellia, Rhododendron, Pyracantha fortunei, Forsythia suspensa, Rose, Yingchun, etc. Evergreen shrubs: Ficus, Ficus alternifolia, Liriodendron, etc. Ground cover plants: southern cherry blossom, sunflower, hanging bamboo plum, Pteris, velvet, etc. Zoysia japonica, weeds, Cong Lan, Ophiopogon japonicus, Ligustrum lucidum, etc.

Hedges: boxwood, holly, Berberis, Japanese thorn plum, Ligustrum lucidum, pearl plum, hibiscus, etc. Pollution-resistant tree species: fig, mulberry, acacia, hibiscus, jasmine, osmanthus, palm, etc.

Flower shrubs: Camellia, Rhododendron, Pyracantha fortunei, Forsythia suspensa, Rose, Yingchun, etc.

Evergreen shrubs: Ficus, Ficus alternifolia, Liriodendron, etc.

Ground cover plants: southern cherry blossom, sunflower, hanging bamboo plum, Pteris, velvet, etc. Zoysia japonica , Wild King Vaccaria, Conglan, Ophiopogon japonicus, Ligustrum lucidum, etc. The roof should be planted with plants that are sun-resistant and cold-resistant, do not need too much water, and have not deep roots. Generally, low shrubs, ground cover plants, perennial flowers and vines are selected for roof greening. In principle, there is no need for tall trees. In order to prevent plant roots from penetrating the waterproof layer of buildings, plants with developed fibrous roots should be preferred for roof greening, rather than straight-rooted plants or plants with strong root penetration. The specific varieties should be analyzed according to your region (climatic conditions) and environment (specific conditions of planting areas). Different regions may have relevant standards suitable for local conditions. For example, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture has formulated the local standard "Code for Roof Greening", which stipulates that Pinus tabulaeformis, Pinus bungeana, Ginkgo biloba, Begonia Xifu, Buxus buxus, Prunus mume and Euphorbia humilis are optional plant species for roof greening in Beijing. You can check whether there are corresponding standards in your area.

Question 3: Which plants are suitable to grow tall on the roof?

Question 4: What kind of plants should be planted for sunshade of courtyard roof? The choice of plants is much more delicate than public greening. We must consider environmental factors and human factors. Because of the good light, it is suitable for most vines to grow, but I wonder if the landlord is a southerner or a northerner. In the south, like tropical areas, roof plants should be evergreen plants. Because even if winter comes, the weather is still hot and plants can provide shade. Such as: ivy, secluded vines, roses, fireworks, Lingxiao and so on. The north is also suitable for areas with obvious seasonal changes in the south, and deciduous plants should be selected. Deciduous plants change obviously in four seasons. Like Parthenocissus tricuspidata, spring flowers and autumn leaves turn red in autumn. After defoliation in winter, sunlight can penetrate plants and raise the indoor temperature. Such as: wisteria, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Jinyinchuan, grapes, etc.

Question 5: What kind of trees are suitable for planting on the top floor? I am in Chongqing, lacking sunshine, but it is particularly hot in summer. So I also want to plant some plants on the top floor that can lower the temperature. Bougainvillea must be planted, and the skin can support it. Vines and the moon have been planted before, which are too easy to get insects and difficult to take care of.

Question 6: What trees can be planted on the roof? If the soil layer is thick enough, all the common trees planted locally can be planted.

As it is a roof, it is suggested to plant some small trees. Such as red maple, osmanthus and so on. White orchids can also be planted.

Question 7: What plants are suitable for planting on the roof? The plants on the roof are all good vines, such as grapes, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Camptotheca acuminata, etc., which are sunny and drought-tolerant. Bamboo with unique leaves and ivy with evergreen leaves; Or with charming flowers, such as Youjute, which has a peculiar flower shape. Can be planted. The common forms of roof greening are covering, scaffolding and hanging. The flat roof of synthetic planting soil can be cultivated by creeping and climbing plants, which looks like a green carpet. Ivy, Catharanthus roseus and Yunnan Jasminum giraldii can be used as hanging greening. Roof planting is different from the ground, so we should choose varieties that are heat-resistant, cold-resistant, wind-resistant and drought-resistant. Balcony windowsill greening is an important part of urban office or family greening. Nets and supports can be made of ropes, bamboo strips or metal wires, and flower screens or green sheds can also be made of winding or rolling plants. Suitable plants are morning glory, dill, towel gourd, gourd and so on. And roses, winter jasmine, ivy, asparagus and other plants can also be planted in flowerpots for hanging or hanging.

Question 8: Which conifers and cypresses are suitable for roof planting? They are more drought-resistant and cold-resistant. It's good to grow grapes and harvest fruits. If you have time and energy, most trees in Xiyang can be planted. Such as smiling face, gardenia, camellia, osmanthus, bayberry, hibiscus, peach, crape myrtle, jujube, fig and so on.

Question 9: What kind of fruit trees are suitable for roof gardens? Generally speaking, oranges, oranges, cherries, loquats, pomegranates and many others can be planted. The first two kinds of flowers are very fragrant. But it should be local. You can choose smaller seedlings according to the situation of the roof garden. But the fruit in the roof garden is easy to be eaten by birds, and the shell is better, but there are generally no seedlings.
