Cut into the Shade: Why Palma's Wall Trees Fell Despite Protests

Answer

Why were the wall trees cut down in Palma?

The trees were removed after municipal technical reports said they were in poor condition, affected by disease, and unlikely to recover. A court had lifted an injunction, which cleared the way for the city to proceed. For many residents, the lack of publicly shared detail about the diagnosis and alternatives remained a major concern.
