The Provincial government
through the Estación Fitopatolóxica do Areeiro donates camellias
and ferns to the town councils in the province
On October 24th, to conmemorate the 25 years of
existence of the Estación Fitopatolóxica do Areeiro, D. Rafael
Louzán Abal, President of the Provincial Government, donated two
specimens of Camellia japonica, two of Camellia sasanqua
(fragrant) and two fern trees of the species Cyathea cooperi, to the
town councils of the Pontevedra province, so that they would be planted in an
emblematic spot. |

The event was held in the facilities of
Areeiro, and was attended by most of the mayors of these town councils. Dr.
Pedro Mansilla, the Director of the Estación Fitopatolóxica
commented the services provided by every department, as well as their fields of
research. Attendants could taste some of the autumn fruits cultivated in the
centre, such as feijoa and strawberry guava (Feijoa sellowiana y
Psidium cattleianum), to promote the consumption of these autumn fruits,
so that they would be included in the everyday diet of the
population.
