Let's change Murcia has submitted a motion to the Plenary this Thursday for the elaboration of a plan of action aimed at avoiding the fall of branches of the ficus that includes the correct hydration of these trees taking into account the weather conditions and the inclusion of the example of Santo Domingo In the Regional Law of Arboreal Heritage.

The municipal formation has explained that it does not contemplate the felling of this emblematic tree, but its survival through measures that help avoid situations like those happened a few days ago in Santo Domingo and the Artillery Barracks, helping in the adaptation of this type of Tree, native to Australia and therefore adapted to more humid climates.

"The combination of high temperatures and lack of precipitation seems to be at the origin of these incidents," said Ginés Mirón, a member of Cambiemos Murcia, for whom, furthermore, "it is not appropriate to forget actions by the City Council that have accentuated the Weakness of these specimens, such as the confinement of the same in small flower beds, which makes it difficult for the underground roots to develop properly and provide the tree with the water it needs. "

To this, it has added the effects of the removal of the aerial roots that serve this species of support to avoid precisely the fall of the branches and the remodeling of the square of Santo Domingosin to think about the well-being of this historical tree, increasing the surface Paving and reducing that of the earth.

In relation to the justification of councilman José Gillén on the complete pruning of the ficus of Santo Domingo, Cambiemos Murcia has considered a "contradiction" that on the part of the Consistory indicates that the periodical revisions of the ficus had not detected to date no important problem that Made predict its fall and, at the same time, talk about the existence of decay that have justified the radical logging.

For his part, Councilor Nacho Tornel has called for the start of the Mesa del Arbol, which has not yet been established despite the fact that several months have passed since its approval in the Plenum of the City of Murcia.
