How did the palm become such an icon of California? Read about it here: "A Brief History of Palm Trees in Southern California" (Dec. 7, 2011).Interesting that "The L.A. Department of Water and Power has said that as the city's palm trees die, most will not be replaced with new palms but with trees more adapted to the region's semi-arid climate, requiring less water and offering more shade." (KCET Nov. 26, 2006).
These are old reports. What is LA doing now?
How does the history of palms in Santa Clara & Alameda counties fit in with the LA story? More on that later.
Really? Stealing palms?
What's eating the palms?
- The red palm weevil
- Diamont scale, Fusarium wilt, pink rot, and the scariest sounding of all Sudden Crown Drop
Northern California palms
- Palm Paradise
- Palms at Stanford University
- Palmdale in Mission San Jose
- Palms at Hearst Castle
