Features and characters of the individual
This beautiful homogeneous tree line, nearly complete, is quite lucky in more than one way. On the one hand, their pruning has preserved the natural structure of their crown, which is not so common in the city. On the other hand, each tree has the space necessary for its development, with a good distance between their trunks of 10 m and wide sidewalks. Their crowns are therefore naturally large and form an attractive vault.
