Ginkgo and Platanus ... Jinju City Plans to Complete 'Street Tree Pruning Project' by Mid-Month

Jinju City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, plans to complete the pruning project for 2,831 street trees by mid-month.

The tree species targeted for this pruning project are 2,611 ginkgo trees, 203 plane trees, and 17 Himalayan cedars, which are vulnerable to typhoons and other winds. For the Himalayan cedar, a species susceptible to wind damage, excessive pruning will be avoided to prevent damage and maintain the landscape.

Urban street trees share the same routes as power and communication lines, making it difficult to maintain their normal shape for facility safety.

The city plans to restore the shape of street trees by preserving branches with proper form, considering the safety of power and communication lines.

A Jinju city official stated, “We will make further efforts for the efficient and systematic management of Jinju’s street trees.”
