New apple orchards will appear in
Almaty. Fruit trees were planted in the metropolis as part of the city-garden
campaign. This is the first step toward restoring Almaty to its former glory,
organizers say. Over the weekend, residents planted about 8,000 green
plantings, half of which are apple trees. The season for planting was not
chosen by chance. Spring seedlings take root better, which means the garden
will be fruitful. As noted by experts, the trees will stand for half a century
or longer. Alleys have appeared in different parts of the city where other
types of fruit trees, deciduous trees and shrubs will grow.
“Specialists from the Office of Ecology
and Environment as well as contracting organizations responsible for territory
cleaning were invited for tree planting which was carried out in accordance
with regulations. Watering sessions are scheduled for every Saturday,” said
Adil Tolegenuly, chief specialist at the Department of Public Utilities of the Alatau
district of Almaty.
“We will greenify our beloved
city of Almaty so it flourishes and delights the eyes. We want tourists to come
to us and admire the beauty of the greenest city,” said Honored
Figure of Kazakhstan Zhamilya Serkebayeva.
It is worth noting that green
areas in the metropolis cover less than 1,000 hectares. It is planned to
increase this figure to 3,500 hectares by 2040. During this time, at least 2.5
million trees will be planted.
