   I went to a former land fill just off the coast of #SantaCruz de #Tenerife. Someone topped it with fertile soil and turned this old dump into a beautiful garden hill called #Palmetum.
   It now gives home to hundreds of #palms from all over the world. Since I'm quite passionate about these plants I made many photos. Here are some of their alien fruits. #kphoto #palms

     there's just a handful of barrel shaped palm tree species around the world and they all grow on islands. they store starch in their trunks to get an early start when the rain season comes around.

     the gigantic palm #TahinaSpectabilis was only discovered in 2007. it grows exclusively in a small area on Madagascar. only about 90 specimens exist. plus 3 in the #Palmetum park on #Tenerife. its leaves are very rigid, like thin wood.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.

     a date tree and a pond with bananas growing in the water. I never knew that dates grow directly on the tree trunk! blew my mind
