Latest news from the La Manga Club news team…palm trees, the focal point of many gardens and public areas in Murcia, are under threat from a small insect. The Red Palm Weevil was responsible for the felling of 576 palm trees in Cartagena alone. A further 376 were lost in Los Alcazares, with San Javier down a further 346. To date, 44 outbreaks have been reported in the Murcia region. The Canary Palm was the most vulnerable species. Local authorities blame the hot weather for the spread of the beetles and believe the outbreak affected many more trees than those reported to officials.
