I was up on the roof and noted a glorious red leaf on Chambeyronia hookeri.

Caryota urens, both blooming. Soon to have TWO pickup beds full of seed, assuming the chain saw gods don't act first.

Feather palms in front are Archontophoenix tuckeri.

Note that the roof is bare; I'm re-shingling it. Fun fun fun. Hopefully, this will be penance for all sins, past, present and future. :unsure:

Here's the infamous Redneck Skylight, where the roof rotted from debris from previous owners' (expletive) Brazilian Pepper Trees. (Palms won't do this to your roof!) Joists, fascia, etc., all need to be replaced.

This has been an education. For certain, I've learned why plywood is a material of choice instead of that awful knotty pine board that's up there now.

About 10 - 11 years.

The most prodigal kids I've ever ever seen. They're 70 feet tall, at least.

That's just not much time.

I'm really curious as to why that is.

One benefit of the Redneck Skylight is to be able to see the palms up through it.
