2 miles of Jubaea chilensis.
I didn't come close to capturing this army of Wine Palms. Traffic forbid standing in the middle of the street that might have given a wider view. I tried...but I can tell you its wine palms as far as the eye can see in each direction. It has to be hundreds of them. I guess to really impress all I can say is "Imagine hundreds of them lining miles of a large boulevard".

WOW!
Stan, where are these?
And how far apart are the palms (How many feet apart from each other center-to-center)? They appear very close together, although that could be a foreshortening illusion from the camera lens.
Thanks for posting the photographs!

Re: 2 miles of Jubaea chilensis.
Mission BLVD. Union City Ca,Near and across from the Masonic Home. Yeah,they are roughly 10-15 feet apart for what seems like at least a mile. The blocks are long..but the row picks up and keeps going for many. It might be too newly planted for Google..I haven't checked that.
I wonder too why not longer- like 2 miles or so rather then so close. But maybe its just what they like and wanted? Its going to be something to watch for years...

In another 100 years they will look impressive. Any updated photos Stan?
