Just gets better everytime i see it . The block appears to be a similar size to mine and its amazing how Bob has integrated all those palms into a rather small space .

the "Pièce de résistance is the Hedyscepe canterburyana that was planted in 1978 a beautiful aged trunk with a perfectly symetrical crownshaft of arching fronds reaching up into the southern California sun .

Close 2nd IMO is the Rhopalostylis sapida (chatham Islands )

and 3rd is the legendary syagrus abreojos and the amazing story behind its discovery in Baja !

Having received a quantity of seeds from Bob's Syagrus abreojos and the beer belly Rhopalostylis sapida (chatham Islands ) the Tasmanian growers ,Nomolos, Jonathan and myself hope to have a little piece of Bob's palms in our own Gardens . :D

Those rhopies are admirable but how many million years old would they be ??? That is the only thing that stops me from planting a couple. Did Bob by them half grown or did he plant them before he was born ?

Great pictures Vince! You are doing fine as a "seedling". But #22 is a Hedyscepe canterburyana and #24 has a Howea belmoreana... You were right on the Chamby the first time. The "identifiable" C. houliou is the "yellow" trunked one behind the bench in post #2. Please keep posting.

You have some of the best pictures of Bobs place I've seen!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Ahh, nice to see the white work truck still in place. :) has it been moved since my visit 1 1/2 years ago? lol! The yard is looking great, just as I remembered. Size for size, it's one of the nicest gardens in Socal, IMO. Thanks for the pictures.....

Peachy,

I think Bob been in that house for just over 30 years...so many of those beauties are 20+ years old. And here in Cali they usually grow slower!!

Thanks for the photos of this fine garden. It's not only a wonderful collection of mature palms, it has a real sense of place. When you walk out among the palms, you know you have entered a special place; something to do with the cohesive design, the colorful details, the manicured neatness of a resort combined with the relaxed tropical vibe. I give this garden five stars: B)B)B)B)B)

Thank you for a great tour! Those Rhopies, among many others, are outstanding. That Palm garden flows.
