2013年,东京都政府的一项调查显示,东京共有樱花树4.4万棵。而病树的数量却在不断增长,急需被砍伐。这就意味着,在日本城区的凝重灰底上画出一抹粉色的樱花树林最终可能会完全消失。
"Cherry trees usually live about 60 years so the ones we have in Tokyo are getting too big, are contracting diseases and are shedding branches," Kiroyuki Wada, a spokesman for the Japan Tree Doctors' Association, told The Telegraph.
“樱花树的寿命通常为60年,所以日本的这批樱花树已经长得太大了。很多树都已染病,枝杈脱落。”日本树木医会发言人和田裕之(音)对英国《每日电讯报》表示。
"They need to be replaced and the Tokyo city government has tried to do that, but they have met resistance from local residents."
“这些树需要更新换代。东京市政府曾做过尝试,却遭到当地居民的抵制。”
The local authority has attempted to carry out replacement programmes in several parts of the city, targeting trees that have raised pavements with their roots or have lost branches, but those plans have on occasions been thwarted.
市政府曾尝试在东京几个地区实行更新计划,更新对象是那些树根已撑破人行道或是枝杈开始脱落的樱花树,但这些计划却不时遭到民众阻挠。
