While the second stage (in the section from the crossroad of Svobody and Májová Street) is being worked on, the first stage finished in August is expecting planting the trees - five platanes and six decorative pear trees.
 „As recommended by specialists the planting will be carried out in the period after leaves falling, probably in the days from 16th to 25th November," vice mayor Miroslav Plevný says. „They are from Belgium and will be transported to Cheb in early November".
The chosen platane variety has wide-branched top, is cold-resisting, endures polluted milieu (dust, smoke) and pruning, fits well in municipal plantings. The bark on older trees is mostly composed of several layers in various colours and peels off gradually, which makes typical look of the trunk.
The chosen decorative pear trees on the contrary are typical for their cone-shaped tops. White blossom (appearing in April) is replaced - usually until October - by small brownish fruits. Green leaves are more distinct in autumn - from yellow over orange and red to brown.
