PSSC SEPTEMBER 2017 MEETING

September 16, 2017 MEETING

 

TAKE A DEEP BREATH

The PSSC’s September 16, 2017 will be at two gardens in Orange County: Bill Dickenson and Bob Burtscher, both in Fullerton, in the northern part of the county. Mr. Dickenson has shown his garden a number of times before; Mr, Buirtscher’s garden is hosting a meeting for the first time.

FIRST GARDEN

Bill Dickenson started his garden so long ago, it’s a bit scary; back in the 1970s, when he first bought his house overlooking a nearby golf course. A long-time and continuing Board member, Mr. Dickenson has some marvelously mature specimens for your viewing pleasure, the crown jewel of which is his very own hybrid between a Queen Palm, Syagrus romanzoffianum and Lytocaryum wedellianum, plus a number of F2 babies of same. Additional highlights include a mature Roystonea regia and the largest Ravenala madagascarensis I’ve seen in California. The address is 2313 Lark Ellen Drive, Fullerton, CA 92835.

SECOND GARDEN

Bob and Judy Burtscher’s home and garden sit on a half-acre hillside in Fullerton. The Burtschers aren’t the types to get little plants in liners and gallons and wait; they step up and get the big stuff. Some of the Burtscher’s big stuff is really big and really spectacular, including: (a) a mature Kentiopsis pyriformis, which is blooming and might be seeding, with about 10 feet (3.3 M) of trunk; (b) a mature, seeding, Dypsis saintluciei, which is at least as tall; (c) a mature, seeding Dypsis leptocheilos, with about 16 feet (5.3 M) of trunk; and (d) a mature, seeding Chambeyronia macrocarpa, with about 8 feet (2.6 M) of trunk. Other highlights include a number of mature Cocothinriax, a koi pond, and the largest Hyphorbe verschaffeltii I’ve seen so far in California. If you’ve wondered what some of your rare babies will look like at maturity, come and see! Bring your cameras, your sense of wonder and a few bucks for the auction. The address is 518 Miguel Place, Fullerton, CA 92835.

Take a deep breath and park.

POTLUCK

This will be a potluck meeting. Chicken will be provided, but all attendees are welcome to bring their own food. If you like it, we will too! Salad, dessert, canapes, stew, all are welcome and will be devoured by the hungry attending horde.

AUCTION

There will be an auction at this meeting. The auctions are a vital source of funding for the Society, and anyone may donate plants. You have the option of either donating 100% of the proceeds, or 50% for plants sold at the auction. Minimum auction price is $20; plants that don’t sell for that much will be retired from the bidding. The best plants are rare palms in 1 to 5 gallon pots.

Thanks to all of you for your support! If you have any questions shoot me a PM, private message.

Was just invited and went to Bob's yard on this past Monday. As Dave would say, URK! what a stunning place, and if you are a fan of the large Dypsis like I am, Bob's place is near Utopia! I hope to post a few pics soon, but at least 12-15 of the big guys, most near trunking size!! :drool::drool:

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Dave and BS Man are right.  Bob invited us last week for a tour  and his place blew us away. Fantastic garden. I love everything about this garden. I hope everyone can make it. I already can't wait to go back. I know I probably missed seeing some gems.  See you all there!
