Palmy Street View Oceanside, CA

[monkeyranch]

Here's an interesting landscape I found while wandering around Street View on Cleveland Street in Oceanside. Two blocks were redeveloped by somebody who appreciated the value of palms and tropical style. A lot of common stuff but the mass planting effect is nice. No deciduous temperate plants to disturb the effect. A few unusual cycads and unusual palms are mixed in there. The architecture style suggests at what the Sunset District in San Francisco could look like if it was re-landscaped with Ceroxylons, Parajubaea, Chamaedorea, Brahea edulis, etc. Anyone want to walk around the Street View and list all of the species they can find?

Yeah, the sunset district in SF would look fabulous if all the homes were landscaped like Darolds place. Too bad most Northern Californians hate palms.

What I've found is that most people dont realize the huge varities of palms out there. Most people seem to know only what the big boxes carry - which is a shame. I try my best to educate my neighbors by donating/planting/maintaining plants in their yards, as well as showcasing what I can in my yard. But until the big boxes decide diversify their stock, I excwpt more queens, washies, and roebellinis... The large stores also seem to carry chamaerops, pindos, and canaries, kings, and kentias. Sometimes even Coconuts...

I have driven by there a couple times and the area is (now) quite nice. (It was a run down area a while back and many blocks were razed to make this development about .5 miles from the beach)

Its about 2 miles or less from my place.

Anywhere in the Bay Area would look great landscaped that way. Most Nor Cal people like or are indifferent to palms but there is a minority that is quite vocal and they're usually the types that think everyone should be growing only natives. In the thirteen years I've owned my business, I've only had a couple of clients voice their disliking of palms and it, for the most part, was before I showed them the variety of palms available. Almost every one of my projects has included palms here in the Bay Area.
