Visitors to Corfu will notice this year that we have fewer palm trees on the island than previously. The culprit being blamed is the Palm Weevil which has been burrowing holes deep into the trees to lay its eggs. Roda does not seem to have been too badly affected yet, but many people are extremely concerned. There is no simple treatement and many trees are simply being removed.

We know that only to well our neighbours have lost both of theirs they seemed to deteriorate very quickly after the heavy rains that we had a few weeks ago suffice to say they are now completely gone and here is the culprit. ( Not the man up the top see photo below)
