The palmetum is a large botanical garden in Tenerife, specialized in palms.
The main website about the project has recently been updated, with insights about the history of the last few years and the new species planted.
About 500 palm species grow in the park, as well as exotic fruit trees, mangroves, baobabs and other unusual tropical plants.

Really, there are more than 100 different palm species? I alwayss feel they are more or less the same, all of them. This is great to read about!
This is a really nice project in Santa Cruz, and it is nice to see these sorts of gardens. The botanical gardens in Puerto de La Cruz is also very good, and has some amazing plants from around the world.
