End of the road for the trees in Giardino

In February we published an article about the fungus threatening the plane trees around Barga (article here) - a month later we wrote another article questioning the timing of the pruning of the plane trees just outside Barga Vecchia (article here) and wondering if they were put at risk of gradually succumbing to the encroaching fungus.

Instead just three months later it’s not the plane trees of Barga vecchia that have had difficulty but the line of Tigli trees down in Barga Giardino which have all apparently become infected and according to experts have now reached a dangerous condition where a strong wind could bring them crashing down on an unsuspecting passer-by.

Unfortunately it now appears that none of them can be saved and all will have to be chopped down shortly.

New trees will be put in their place and hopefully in the short space of time, the Giardino will be back to its peaceful shaded greenery once again.
