Valuable palm dies at Royal Flora site
One of five 300-year-old royal palms imported from Australia and worth Bt400,000 each has died from a fungi infection, while another is already affected.
Published on September 12, 2007
The fungus was caused by continuous rain and flooding an official said yesterday.
The Suan Chalermphrakiet Project director Maitree Yaowarat said after the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006 ended, Nong Nooch Landscape & Garden Design Co (Suan Nong Nooch) won a contract to maintain the site and plants there. However, continuous downpours caused pools of floodwater to form around the royal palms, which caused the fungus to develop.
