After boulevard Lascrosses at the beginning of summer, it is the turn of avenue des Etats-Unis to suffer the attacks of the colorful canker of the plane tree.
The town hall announced this Friday that a tree contaminated by the killer fungus, which has conscientiously disfigured the banks of the Canal du Midi for years, has been spotted north of the city.
He will be cut down early next week along with four other healthy plane trees but included in the famous "sanitary perimeter".
The operation, which will result in occasional traffic restrictions, will obey a drastic protocol: daily defection of tools and machinery, burnt stumps, etc.
The municipality also specifies that the sacrificed plane trees will be replaced.
"By plants of a different essence", resistant to canker.
They will be planted in a little over a year, in the fall or winter.
