You would think at HKD100,000 a piece, the park would take good care of the palm trees dotted on Magic Road at Hong Kong’s Disneyland. Not!
Purchased from Australia and costing the government about HKD10 million in total, the palm trees are said to be dying, with their leaves drying up and turning yellow. The root of the cause is speculated to be attacks from foreign pests.
According to the SCMP, Though the park has been applying insecticides to the trees twice a week, because the trees have been subject to such bad conditions for so long, it’s unlikely they can be saved.
