There are many ways to prune the numerous palm trees that the municipality of guilas has, but from the Consistorio Aguileo and the concessionaire company STV Gestin have bet on achieving a triple objective: to prune without damaging the specimen, extolling its beauty and revising assuring its state of Health.
"A European-certified pruner is responsible for climbing through the palm tree climbing system, always complying with the existing safety regulations, while at the same time ensuring that the palm trees have a final appearance in the form of 'balona', in order that is achieved so that the palm tree has the best branches and looks much more beautiful, "explains the mayor of Utility Companies, Isabel Fernandez.
The tasks, about 150 palm trees in the municipality of guilas, will be developed in the historic center of the municipality, mainly in such emblematic places as the Plaza de Espaa.
During the ascent to the palm tree it is usually done, says Fernandez, brushing the trunk to get it to be cylindrical without causing any damage to the specimen.
Also, this expert with European certification is always responsible for respecting the angle of insertion in the cut of palms, from 0 ° to 180 °.
The health of these copies is a key issue for both the City Council and the concessionaire STV.
That is why it is important to review and improve the 'feeding and drinking system' of each of the palm trees.
The expert inspects this system based on a pipe, along the trunk, through which the palm tree canopy receives the food and anti-weevil treatments and against all types of pests or diseases.
The City Council of guilas continues its policy of care and improvement of the different green spaces of the municipality, always giving priority to security, both for its citizens and for the different specimens it has.
