Trees in Front of the Cathedral: Court Allows Felling – Was That the Only Solution?

Answer

Are unsafe trees in Palma always cut down, or can they be protected first?

Not every risky tree has to be removed immediately. In Palma, residents suggested alternatives such as barriers, temporary closures, crown securing and removing dead branches before choosing felling. Whether those steps are enough depends on the condition of the trees and whether access for emergency services can still be guaranteed.
