Hi we are Edwin and Caroline from The Netherlands, sinds this week we live in Santa Maria de Nieva. We would love to buy some more local trees. Does anyone know a grower where you can buy directly? I only know the garden center in Vera.

Thank you very much!

I think there are various garden centres just outside Lorca. There is a big one that sells large palms on the left hand side of the autovia before turning off to enter the town. 

Do be careful because the dreadful picudo rojo beetle is killing palms everywhere in Spain. The beetle eats the centre of the palm and then it is too late to do anything and very expensive to remove a diseased tree from your garden. Washingtonia palms often escape the infestation as the beetle seems to prefer date palms and Canary Island palms.
