Successful Palm Transplant
Five special Phoenix Palm trees can now put down permanent roots in front of the New Regional Hospital after being saved during the demolition and development of the Newtown site.
The trees were temporarily relocated to a spot behind the Community Health building while construction went ahead, but with some heavy duty equipment and careful handling, they have now reached their final destination along Riddiford Street.
The five 40-year-old trees weighed between 11 and 15 tonnes each and stand a whopping 10m - 15m tall. It took one 100-tonne and one 220-tonne cranes to lift the trees out, carry them to their new home and place them into large holes about 3m/sq and 1.5m deep.
C&C DHB thanks Fletchers for overseeing the project and all the subcontractors who took part, for taking care to ensure the trees can be enjoyed by future generations in a prominent spot outside our fantastic new facility.
