Winter monitoring at the reinforcement sites at Isola Colombaia and Isola Lunga

The monitoring of the two reinforcement sites of Isola Lunga and Isola Colombaia was carried out. At Isola Lunga, one month after planting the survival rate is about 95%. On the contrary, with concern to the plantations of 2021 the survival rate is quite low: at Isola Lunga, the impact of rabbits caused a mortality of about 98%, while at Isola Colombaia the survival rate is 20% for both plantations of 2020 and in 2021. Despite the particularly adverse weather conditions of last winter, most of the established plants are in good health and almost all bear floral buds, flowers and fruits. Moreover, especially at Isola Colombaia several new plants issuing from natural dispersal of the previous plantations have been found.
