The exhaustive revision work that is being carried out in the ficus of the Floridablanca Garden has been able to detect this morning a branch, about 2 tons in weight, which presented a risk of falling, so it has been withdrawn immediately.
The technicians estimate that the intense temperatures of the last days have been able to influence this.
This wave of heat, together with the scarcity of rainfall, was decisive in the accident in the ficus of Santo Domingo a month ago, and advised at that moment the closure of the Floridablanca Garden, which has remained so ever since.
It has been a time dedicated to reiterate the inspections on its woodland, resorting to.
External experts from within and outside the region to determine, together with the municipal technicians, the most appropriate procedure with these specimens.
It is precisely when a new episode of high temperatures has been registered that the problem has been detected in the branch that has been removed today.
These works are added to those made at the beginning of June in the ficus of the garden, within the usual schedule of maintenance of these specimens, including pruning, which involved the removal of 3,500 kilos of branches.
This technical work at height takes place every six months - although last year three were done - but there are daily staff in the garden to make visual revisions.
The inspection has been carried out tree to tree, branch by branch, with a basket in height, to eliminate any part damaged or susceptible to cause some problem.
The work, however, has not yet been completed, which is why the garden will not be able to open to the public before Saturday morning and will not take place until the technicians certify that the risk factors have been controlled.
