A well thought through standard that provides guidance and systems to enable us and others who make decisions about tree planting to make decisions / plans that result in a sustainable treescape must be a good thing.

Particularly if it presents not only current best practices for urban tree planting (with an emphasis on adequate rooting volumes and an avoidance of perched water tables etc), but perhaps even more importantly, the need for management post-planting. After this dry Spring, I've been noticing a depressing number of dead heavy standards, still with their supports on. A very timely standard if the BSI decide to go ahead with it.
