A vertical forest is growing in the middle of one of europe’s dirtiest cities

A vertical forest is growing in the middle of one of europe’s dirtiest cities, article.

The "forest" is on the outside of an apartment building, and it's almost done.

I'ts a bit risky, I think. It will take a lot of maintenance to stop the trees overgrowing their small boxes and turn the whold shebang into slum, cocooned in green monoliths (Duoliths?).
Sure, they are taking measure, but I've just seen a picture of a tree growing up through a boulder. Never underestimate the power of nature.

Be very interesting when a tree loses a limb and it lands outside the building, or maybe they don't care about things like that in China.

I was wondering how they would water all the shrubbery, but the gray water system sounds smart. I wonder who will grow the first marijuana plant on it?
