The Service of Parks and Gardens, dependent of the Department of Modernization of the Administration and Urban Development that José Guillén directs, finalizes the retirement of oranges of the 14,000 units of the municipality.
The City Council carries out its withdrawal for numerous reasons: it benefits the horse, reduces any problem caused by the fall of the fruits to the ground and, of course, possible cases of vandalism are avoided.
In addition, these oranges are not suitable for consumption, they are bitter orange and their fruit is not edible.
To carry out the collection of these oranges, about 640 tons, the daily tasks and the personnel assigned to this work are intensified: in the capital there are 2 teams of 8 people and in the districts more than fifteen people.
"Spring has already arrived in Murcia, and the smell of orange blossom fills the streets of the municipality.
These specimens, typical of our area, are examples that must be taken care of and kept in perfect conditions to guarantee the safety of the neighbors.
In addition, in different squares and green areas they give shade to the neighbors and they lower the temperature "has highlighted José Guillén.
In addition, with this pruning there is an improvement in the growth and flowering of the orange trees that grow with greater strength.
