Five maple trees have been planted on the post island
Continuing the greening of the Post Island, five new maples were planted in Laime’s tree park on the day of the Great Cleanup – three red and two country maples.
The city management, municipal employees participated in the tree planting, and this year they were joined by the mayor of Rieijmalmezon, Jelgava’s sister city in France, Patriks Ollier and representatives of the Rieijmalmezon municipality.
Laime Park has been supplemented with two types of maples – three red maples (Acer rubrum) ‘Scanlon’ and two field maples (Acer campestre) ‘Huibers Elegant’. The red maple will delight visitors to the Post Island with its dark red leaves in the fall, and in time it will have a pyramidal crown, while the country maple is a tree with a wide and dense ovoid crown, which will acquire a yellowish tint in the fall.
In Laime’s tree park on the island of Pasta, both in the Great clearings, which usually take place in the spring, and in the World clearings, which take place in September, more than 20 trees of different varieties have been planted so far – purple apple trees, pink willows, red oaks, willows, mountain ash, black alder and common Oak.
