Jardín Botánico Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife)

[Foxpalms]

The other day I visited this gardens, it has a wide variety of palms and plants from all around the world. Here are a few photos.

I was here a month ago! Beautiful gardens! Nice how most of the gardena are now shaded.

Good job with the pictures. You haven´t left a plant withouth a picture!🙂

Lots of new palms since I was last there. I lived at 300 mts from the garden and I spent more time in it than at home. 😀

Don´t miss Hijuela del botánico, (just behind the Town Hall) , Jardin Victoria (very near it) and the gardens at the Liceo in La Orotava.

Public parks in Santa Cruz (capital city) such as: García Sanabria (a proper botanical garden), and La Granja. And The Palmetum, of course.

The famous Dracaena Drago at Icod de los Vinos. Though there is a taller one close to it, in calle san Antonio.

Thanks for taking the time to upload the images. I had no idea you could attach so many photos in a single post.

It is amazing how that's possible. I didn't have time to visit that, but if I'm there again I will try to take a photo of it.

Yes, by all means, take several pics of it, including some close up pics, if you get a chance.

For a year I lived in a renting apartment, just around the corner from that Livistona.

I'll try to find a paper picture of it. 

It is so bizarre, that it looks ugly😳

[dalmatiansoap]

Definitely ugly one

Wow!!!  What could possibly cause this BIZARRE Growth???

[gurugu]

It should have more branches. If you look more carefully, you'll see some old branches that were pruned long long time ago. 

[dalmatiansoap]

Things like this are usually caused by damaged growing point

That's what I was thinking, but wouldn't that also affect the leaves too?  Wouldn't the leaves look deformed afterwards?

[dalmatiansoap]

First ones probably would be. They are easy outgrown
