Yesterday news broke: the residents of the County garden (which we still exist these trees, because remember that a few years ago, Mr Ripoll, wanted to make a large square in the provincial palace garden, to install tents for events, thereby eliminating most of the vegetation), complained of the excessive pruning (almost a cutting) of a ficus to the age of 30-40 years and here are the pictures to prove it:
Luckily have left lateral roots ... but above: that one branch is what's left of the cup.
Operators were with the two monumental pine corner Vidic Ferré. Ja vorem.
But are not the only, a few months ago I told Andrew Llorens, the head of the Urban Service Department, which had some cassava leaves to excessive (for many years without pruning), in the C / Gonzalo Mengual as Osaba Lopez. Who is not in the neighborhood, say they are two streets next to the building of "the pyramid" (Montreal) and opposite the shopping center Plazamar 2, La Goteta and asked him not beheaded as in the case of the Plaza of Spain (as seen in this link ), well, in the case of the first well was and see the before and after:
We see the plumes have been left over and many nodes where new shoots come out, saving a year in which whatever is happening right now in the Plaza of Spain, where these plants have been naked all year, only with the trunks and start now sprout.
But it has not been so lucky in the case of another neighborhood that was beautiful garden of tropical plants and succulents, created in the 80's and has been abandoned for many years, has been visited by the pruners ( Viveros Albatera guess), and this is the result:
Before: years and years and years without pruning.
Not a green sprout ...
Well, that's another thing ...
The trouble with the issue of yuccas, it's not done out of necessity of the plant, or to promote their education and health: it is simply because these drastic pruning, you save 4 or 5 years work and forget them. The time had to use cranes and workers to get the first pruning of a single plant, which they had to decapitate these 7 or 8 groups, it is much easier to use the chainsaw and cut it healthy, to be careful with another hand tool. And over here is needed again ...
Well, to try to alleviate the anger that all this makes me, let's put a little music and is "You make me feel" (You make me feel) of Sylvester, disco smash late 70's, sung in falsetto.
