New Tree's planted in Palace Fields:
"One Generation plant the tree, the next enjoy the fruit".
Due to trees dying, and damage, in June 2014, 22 new replacement trees were planted in the estate. adding value to existing the existing approximately 450 trees.
In September 2016 21 more trees were planted to rejuvenate Areas 3, 6 and 9 where the trees were dying due to poor soil drainage. Thankfully JJ Rhatigan & Co., drained these three green areas (as you will see in another subsection), and new replacement trees were planted of varied varieties.
Special Thanks to Murphy Garden Centre who carried out the works, in a timely, professional and cost effective manner. Thank you Emmet, Brian and Rory.

At June & October 2014 resident meeting - it was agreed to replaced 22 dead road side tree's in the estate, which didnt add any value to the estate giving the impression the estate was run down.
It was voted to carry the work out ourselves and invoice Arlum as part of the taking in charge process as no other funding was available. "Why should we wait for perhaps years for the benefit of these tree" - June 2014 Resident Meeting The cost of purchasing and planting trees was €740 (8 Trees) and €1295 (14 trees)from Murphys Garden Centre Tullybeg, Miltown Road, Tuam, Co.
