Belalcázar walk planted by a few species of palms, of which deserve to be mentioned in at least 3. The best known to residents and visitors of the soil foxy is undoubtedly the Canary Canary Island date palm or date palm (Phoenix canariensis ), which is headed for many decades the town square, to its thinness (one of the few palm trees of its kind with a single trunk, unbranched at the base) must unite the frequency with which their home capitals stems and other plant species (thistles, friar ears, etc..) and of course birds that nest in holes performed on their scales. As indicated some time in the blog, this species can have days in our gardens, as a result of beetle attack known as' red palm weevil. " Their dates are small and yellowish, on rough sabormuy unless they are overripe.

More rarely seen, although with a few feet loose in the end, is the common date palm (Phoenix dactylifera ), similar to but slightly less ornamental, with more gray palms, and lucky (If they match a male standing near one female) with known dates (edible and much higher than the Canary Island date palm), which seldom come to maturity in these lands. Probably the most notable Belalcazareños date palm is in the jungle, but not the palm that many / as will have in the head, the other particularly high looking over his shoulder to the eucalyptus trees near the remains of the Roman spa. This is the Washingtonia robusta palm California, which can reach extraordinary sizes. Unlike Phoenix with leaves 'pinnate' (in two parallel rows of leaflets, arranged like the teeth of a comb), the Washingtonia have palmate leaf (all the leaflets arise from the same point) and their dates, inedible, are tiny and black when ripe, containing a 'bone' round, yes, enough to attract birds, which are responsible for dispersing. To produce dates, the Washingtonia has the same "sexual problem" which date palms, and each issue contains a single-sex flowers.

the same gender is often used as ornamental in Spain Washingtonia filifera (if you go down to Cordoba can see the 2 species together in more than a garden of the capital), it really is much more robust than its relative W. robust. The name 'filifera' is unfortunate, because it refers to the strings displayed on the base of the palms or fraying the strands that compose them, subject in matching the two species of this genus. Washingtonia filifera is much thicker trunk than W. robust. A lack of Belalcazareños photo is attached here one taken in Mahon (Menorca), where we see the strength of the trunk, just missing from the scientific name of the W. filifera .

Both species of Washingtonia are easily distinguishable by the trunk ( robust filifera and robusta fine) but in some varieties of both species and scale leaf litter could belong decades dead on the trunk, especially in sites protected from constant wind effect. In such cases we plant experts to be as we turn to experts and relieved "sp." (Short for 'species') putting into our photo archives' Washingtonia sp. " (Ie, a species of Washingtonia ). At best, as in the photo below, sooner or later end up dropping some of the older leaves and just person discovers the identity.
