Phoenix palms by chimfa

Phoenix palms

This is the only bit of green we have in Moraira. The young palm trees are still ok. I hope we don't lose them as we have those in our garden .
Great trees, a huge base. Losing because of drought?

@atwinfay no Sharron, there's a red beetle that's infesting the Phoenix palms. The grubs eat them from the inside top bit where the new fronds start. We've spent lots of money trying to save ours but gave up in the end. We have only 2 left. Somewhere earlier in the year I posted a shot of one of ours being cut down.

@chimfa How sad. We have an Emerald Ash Borer here in WI. The city has cut down all the ash trees on city property whether they were infected or not. Hope your last two remain healthy! I will look back for your picture.

What a shame. Hope they can find a way to save them. They look like the Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast.
