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.

Re-posted by permission from Matt Encinosa: "Mrs. Doris Smith has invited us to visit her late husband Dent Smith's palm garden in Daytona.

While Dent was successful in growing palms Doris tells me that since his death hurricanes and hard freezes have reduced the numbers quite a bit. Ed Brown in his nice article with photos in the March issue of "Palms--Journal of the International Palm Society" says there are still a good number …
