Dispute over 17 Ombu Trees on Plaza Llorenç Villalonga: Who Decides on Urban Green?

Answer

Why are the Ombu trees on Plaza Llorenç Villalonga in Palma being considered for removal?

The city says the trees show signs of decay and a higher risk of branch breakage, so the removal is being presented as a safety issue. Residents, however, want to see the full basis for that decision and ask whether less drastic options could protect both people and the trees.
