if this is true, you need new advisors. These palms r unlikely to survive.
We have many incredibly beautiful palm species - they r dying due to a weevil that arrived on an imported exotic palm. The only winners of this project will be hungry weevils.
Kenya’s Nairobi City face lift - our city engineers are tree haters, lovers of noise, dust & concrete. Killing trees & calling it development is backward & dangerous. Some people are just not listening to Uhuru Kenyatta - may their terms end swiftly
