Hi, have t been there in 20y but parque Alamada and bosque cosmopolita seem to be cool. If you go to Malaga there are lots of great botanic gardens

38:37 the drought is, no doubt, serious, but street tree survival depends on a lot of things, not just water and heat. The primary concern is the age and health of the tree when it was planted - most street trees are planted too large and suffer because they are root-bound and fully leafed out when planted in the middle of summer. Planting a younger, smaller tree that has not been container bound (bare root trees), can make all the difference for survival. Younger trees are also more affordable - $25 versus $800 for a large caliper tree - so hundreds more can not only be planted, but funds can be set aside for 3-5 years of care. Planting when the tree is dormant allows it to settle in and not have to spend energy pumping water to the leaves to stay alive. Simply planting trees isn't the answer. And planting in small containers of soil that heat up and dry out every day is never the answer to greening a city. Trees need the consistency of temperature afforded by in-ground planting. Not to mention the ability to produce its own healthy ecosystem in the soil to be strong against what lies ahead. If you're in a tree planting group, please change your ways.

I guess the smaller ones just stop at their maximum size the box can sustain, like a bonsai?

[@OsirusHandle]

also what would you do. bushes? i think the idea is trees keep in humidity. but ofc then people turn their aircon up producing more heat.

[@az55544]

@@OsirusHandle Not quite. If the heat/drought, don't kill it, they weaken it. Eventually, the roots grow around and around until they "root girdle" which is just the tree strangling itself.

[@az55544]

@@OsirusHandle native trees and shrubs that are bare root (oleander), planted in ground, planted when they are small and dormant, and with a follow-on care budget. spend the money on replacing pavers with systems that allow roots to take up rainwater like curb cuts (Brad Lancaster in Tucson, Arizona, USA) and permeable paving. Brad's books offer many many opportunities to have successful public trees without so much stress. and i'd never put a tree or shrub in a planter.
