The city’s new emblem palm tree was planted this Thursday, April 18. Installation at the end of two days of delicate work, between Drome and Nîmes. Lives in Nîmes follow the actions.
Nîmes has found both elements of its old logo. This Thursday, April 18, a new palm tree was planted on Market Square, a few meters from the crocodile fountain statue created by the artist Martial Raysse. Plantation established at the beginning of the evening by Mayor Jean-Paul Fournier, in the presence of many elected officials and Nîmes.
The person in the previous building, a Phoenix type, who was a victim of the red weevil, had to be killed last February. This newcomer, of the type Washingtonia filifera (more resistant, especially to parasitic attacks) is already an old branch: age 52, it weighs 3.2 tons and is a good 8 meters high. Therefore, the work that led to placing it in the heart of the Nîmes logo required two days full of delicate and detailed work.
After being plucked from the soil of the Palmiers Prestige nursery in Livron-sur-Drôme, it had to be handled, prepared for transport, cover the journey of around 130 km and then unloaded and installed in its new specially prepared environment. A real little story.
A highly anticipated income.
