I've heard of chipping dogs or cats but palm trees? EuroNews, Tracking chips for palm trees: Seville acts after theft of ten specimens

The measure, described by the city council as the first of its kind in Spain, comes after a spate of thefts of ornamental palm trees worth around €500 each. The Seville City Council has fitted tracking devices to several Cuban palm trees on Aeronáutica Avenue, in Sevilla Este, so they can be located if they are stolen again. The measure, which municipal sources say is a first in Spain, comes after the disappearance of around ten trees, an incident already under investigation by the National Police.

The palm trees, a species in the Arecaceae family that is highly valued for ornamental use, cost approximately 500 euros each, including their purchase, planting and adaptation to the urban environment. The Parks and Gardens Department decided to fit the chips after filing several complaints with the aim of making it easier to locate the trees and helping to identify those responsible for the thefts.
