Many Palms species

What a wonderful place to live ...;o))

I have just looked at your Palm pictures Andy, and they are great as usual.Palm trees and blue sky: perfect. Shame about the nursery closing.

Look at that sky ! wonderful.

Mushybanna:

Yes, it would be...however, it's just too hot in Fallbrook (where this garden and nursery is located in northern San Diego County) in summer.

Grandmage:

Yes, it's usually pretty clear most of the time.

Rbtkew:

Thanks! I know it's a shame! I'm sure many members in the Palm Society are pretty sad about this nursery closing also.

Aha! My largest King palm from HD came from that grower. I bought in a 5 gallon,took it home in my old Toyota pickup. What is it now? 20+'? not bad for 8 years. My neighbor has them too. Larger, older,but since he has a very tall home.30'? His King palms shaded from hot sun and bay breezes have more fronds. They look more 9am to 3 pm canopies. I have 10 to 2 o Clock looking palms. Once mine got above the old detached garaged?..on their own!

I purchased many palms from Gary Wood at South Coast Palms. The king palms planted on Bruce Dr. in Fremont were purchased here. Gary used to do a yearly delivery to the SF Bay Area...we used to buy lots of palms...and they were very inexpensive.

King Palms grow best in full sun with tons of water and fertilizer.
