Hello! Having to work Sundays is a real bother when you want to go to palm meetings, hence my absence. I have an opportunity to take time off this year so hopefully I can make my time match up with a palm meeting or two. Are the dates for this year's meetings known yet? Thanks a lot!

NORCAL Members - Tree Assessment
by John Case- 1 reply

All NorCall members, The Byron Hot Springs has a large number of palms (primarily Washingtonia and Phoenix species) that are over 120 years old. The owner/developer is interested in the health and well-being of all of these palms. Is anyone interested in working with me to do a complete assessment of trees on the property? Some of the items to deal with are: 1) GPS siting of each of the trees 2) Assessing the health of many of the older ones. Many have been torched/painted/etc. by vandals. We need to determine if there is a future of any kind for them. 3) Movability of the palms if possible 4) Finally, any value they may have. Some of them are very very …

All, I had a chance to work briefly at the palmetum at Lake Merritt today. I was there for a couple of hours and made some progress with some 'attack' heliconias. My opinion,....we have some deferred maintenance there and need to catch up,.....or we won't. The image of jungle run rampant comes to mind. See you all there next month.

The Jackson Grant Garden 16 Brookwood Ln. , Ross Story Behind the Garden We bought the house, our starter, in 1980, moving from potted plants on a Russian Hill fire escape to a real garden. Palms were our favorites. We did test plantings for a few years as we worked out a planting plan. About that time we met Herb Weber and our knowledge of palm trees and the International Palm Society took a giant leap forward. The flood of January 1982 changed all plans. Bridge road was washed out and rebuilt, higher than before. Our construction started in the mid 1980s with the glass house, concrete terraces and retaining wall on Bridge road. Then the house remodel…
