I don’t think any of the Gulf Coast Palm Society officers are on Palm Talk, so I will post their meeting information I received. The spring meeting will be in Cantonment, Florida on Sunday, June 1 beginning at 11:30 am. The last information I have lists the officers as being located in Mobile, Dauphin Island, Loxley and Fairhope Alabama and Pensacola, Cantonment and Panama City Florida. They usually have several vice presidents to cover the large area. They meet four times a year and publish a quarterly newsletter. It’s been a few years since I went to one of their meetings, but they usually have a great auction. If you have any questions, PM me with your e-mail add…

There was at least 8 forum members including myself there as well, so please feel free to add your own pictures if you like. Here's Andrea with Paul Humann as we arrived.

- 1.6k views
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 …
