Palm Tree to be Removed - 822/2026
October 23, 2026
Routine inspection of a tall Date Palm at the Cathedral Square Children’s Playground has revealed a cavity that has rendered the tree unsafe.
The playground has been closed and the tree will sadly be felled.
It is a well-grown specimen likely well over 100 years old, and one of the tallest in Gibraltar, but safety of course comes first. It will be replaced with a well-grown specimen of the same species.
