Guide to choosing plants for vegetated cable structures in professional spaces
Optimum plant selection for wired structures
At TRACER, we attach fundamental importance to the selection of plants for our cable greening system. Each plant is carefully selected for its ability to adapt to the specific characteristics of the cabled structures. Indeed, certain species are better suited to climbing, clinging or growing along the cables, ensuring uniform and aesthetically pleasing plant cover. Our approach is based on meticulous planning of the planting scheme, ensuring harmonious integration of plants while enhancing their resilience and long-term health. We work with you every step of the way to meet the unique requirements of your project.
