Here's the base of the trunk, with the big bite taken out of it.

It's had that since I planted it back on July 3, 2003.

Note how it's healing! I didn't think it would, but it's nice to be wrong sometimes . . . .

This is the same palm's trunk with the Shoe for scale.

This was just a sad little five-gallon four years ago.

Same palm, note the Racing Stripe on the rachis.

Otherwise, very similar to C. elegans.

Nice update on your palms, Dave.

I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Dave's extensive garden after the May PSSC meeting. While the photos show the palms nicely, it's nothing compared to seeing them in person. That handsome, common king is so excessively robust, it demonstrates the full potential of the species. (Sigh) If people would just water their street palms, they'd look so much healthier, I think there is an assumption that they are drought tolerant. Tolerant and looking good do not mean the same thing! I digress...

My favorite part of his garden is the shady Enchanted Chambeyronia Forest. Maybe that's in Part II.

Quite a bit of room.

Some of my best looking palms started out as weeds! :D

Dave, I missed the Archontophoenix cunninghamiana before. What a great looking palm. I know they may be common but the landscape effect of a King is hard to beat. I love Royals for that reason too, but if they are not fed and watered properly throughout their lives they can get really funky looking trunks. Kings seem to always look great from seedling to mature tree.

Nice to see what the big boys looked like 12 years ago back when there was space between the palms and you could actually see the street from your garden!  Thanks for the reboot 'Dave from So-Cal'!
