Palm Species for this site
There are thousands of palm species, but I think for the purposes of keeping in line with the xeric nature of the other plants on this site, I will limit my additions to cold and drought hardy palms (i.e. the ones that can survive in the mainland US... there are thousands more that grow great in Hawaii but there is little point to adding those here).

Re: Palm Species for this site
Geoff,the local Union city has cut off all watering of its hundreds of palms. Many many young ones like Wine palms and I see that Parajubea are now on their own. SO far they look good. They were given a needless frond pruning. From coconut palm look to now that "pineapple" like look. Are the Parajubs considered dry palms?

Not normally Arid, but they are pretty drought tolerant once very well established… but then lots of palms are once well established.

Re: Palm Species for this site
obviously I changed my mind and am adding every species of palm I have photos of... lots of work, but will be nice to have all the photos in one place.

Re: Palm Species for this site
I am plowing through the alphabet... Veitchia is obviously coming up, but will be a bit still until I get to the 'V's... sorry.
