Everyone, I am pleased to announce an in person PSSC meeting in cool but sunny San Clemente, Orange County. Two long-time PSSC members, Rick Luna and Walt Frey have agreed to host at their homes and gardens on Saturday, August 14, 2021. The first garden will be that of the Luna family, at 114 W. Paseo de Cristobal, San Clemente, CA 92672. Ever wonder what some of those New Caledonians you get from Floribunda look like when mature? Come here and feast your eyes on towering Chambeyronia hookeri and macrocarpa, various Burretiokentias, plus a nice, large Pinanga javana, and a near-monumental Laccospadix australasica, that's now about 8 feet tall, plus a…

Hello Palm Friends! The Northern California Palm Society is planning on resuming activities and garden visits this summer. As COVID restrictions continue to decline, we are so looking forward to seeing our palm tree enthusiast friends. Our long-time Oakland Palmetum volunteers Darold Petty and Richard Quiroz are no longer involved with the palmetum. Richard has also stepped down from his role as the NCPS President. Their contributions to both the NCPS and the palmetum can not be measured. The palm collection itself exists largely due to their contributions. We have recently welcomed Will Abel to our NCPS team as Vice President. He has b…

PBPCS General Meeting: Wednesday May 5, 2021 @ 7 pm Speaker: Dr. Larry Noblick "An Ice Age Relic Palm in Arizona" In the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge of Arizona, there is a relic population of Washingtonia growing in a remote narrow desert canyon surrounded by Sonoran Desert vegetation. Some scientists have dared to recognize it as a new species and others have dismissed the idea. In a recent study it was found to be an outlier from all others in the genus based on morphology. Is it a new species? Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85841720590?pwd=Um11UVZPTk12RUZOWHBZWHVueVNEZz09 Call in: 1-669-900-6833 Meeting ID: 85841720590
