A total of 100 palm trees are being transplanted into Orihuela's historic Palmeral in an effort to protect this important natural landscape. The new trees will replace lost specimens, preserving the Palmeral's traditional appearance and ensuring younger palms are established for future generations. The trees, sourced from the city council's municipal nursery, are being planted in gaps left where older palms have been lost.
This work is part of the regular conservation and maintenance program for the Palmeral, one of the city's most significant natural and historic sites. The latest planting aims to maintain the number of palms within the site and prevent gaps from altering the historic landscape's appearance. Introducing younger specimens alongside established palms also ensures the landscape remains vibrant over the long term, rather than simply replacing trees as they disappear.
By using palms grown in the municipal nursery, the council can select and plant specimens that meet the environmental and conservation needs of the site, providing a reliable supply for ongoing replacement efforts.
