***Un appui en arbres*** constitué d’orgueils de chine, de palmiers royaux pour un total de 18 arbres a été fait à la délégation départementale de l’environnement.
The text is about a tree planting scheme organised in urban areas, etc. This sentence is part of a list of activities carried out last year. I am not sure what they mean by 'appui en arbres' here.
Any ideas gratefully accepted!
Many thanks in advance,

a total of 18 trees were supplied/contributed/donated
I think this just means a total of 18 trees were supplied or contributed or donated to the tree-planting scheme. Difficult to be sure which verb would be best without more context.

Comment: "Many thanks to everyone for their answers! This is the one that best suits my context. Thanks again! Sheila"
