Palmetum, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

[Aaron D.]

Hello all,

I am new on this forum. I live in Belgium and last summer I went on holiday to Tenerife. And of course I had to visit the Palmetum.

So I wanted to share a few photo's.

I'm sorry but the pictures are not in the right order.

When you find the time, you should definitely go there once.

Wow, Welcome om Palmtalk and thank you for sharing all these photos.

I am really impressed by all the species growing there (in Spain) like Carpoxylon or other really tropical species I am used to see in Singapore or Peradeniya.

I'm still not done yet.

I hope you are not bored with all these pictures.

And I have a lot more. 

[Dave-Vero]

The pictures are wonderful.  Last one looks a lot like Acoelorraphe wrightii, a slow grower.  Because Canary Islanders came to America in large numbers, it's good to see palms from across the Atlantic.  There ought to be Sabal minor from Texas.  I think San Antonio was once largely Canary Islands people.  

The Palmetum took enormous effort and a very long time to become ready to open to the public.  I think I recall serious setbacks along the way.  

Unfortunately, from Florida, it's probably cheaper to visit Queensland than the Canaries.

I am sorry it took me so long but here are the last pictures.

Thank you for the pictures, what a change to the place since my last 2 visits prior to its opening and when it had no water connected, fencing etc

Carlo has done a great job, his tenacity has paid off and the gardens is his legacy.
