Answer

Will the new trees at Plaza Llorenç Villalonga provide shade in Palma soon?

Some of the chosen species will need time before they offer meaningful shade, especially slower-growing trees such as holm oaks. Faster-establishing species may help sooner, but the full effect will depend on how well the trees are planted and maintained. In a hot city space like Palma, long-term shade depends as much on care as on the species list.
