As some of you know, we have been visiting the Vet lately with Rasputin and sadly these are the two palms in front of their building ....









Very sad.

Hi Victoria,

Very sad photos I have seen the results of the Red Palm Weevil just past porches a poor tree finished,but at this moment i am hoping the problem with my tree is a result of the months of rain rotting the bark,fingers crossed as the top has lots of new leaf growth. i have pulled of some of the bark it comes away easy and there are only signs of spiders no lave or grubs . but i will keep an eye on it . I have another palm on the other side of the garden and that is fine,bark and all. and there is no smell at all.
