Meangreen94z Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hello, I received an email that John Fairey of the former Yuccado Nursery and Peckerwood Gardens(now John Fairey Garden), passed away on March 17, 2020. I don’t believe he was a member of the International Palm Society, but some of Yuccado Nursery’s contributions include bringing Sabal Tamaulipas, Brahea Moorei, and I believe the extremely blue variation of Sabal Uresana to U.S. cultivation. Among many other species of plants from Mexico and elsewhere. http://jfgarden.org/about/our-history/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinpalm Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I received the same email. I was sad to hear of his passing. I only met him once but he was a very knowledgeable and interesting man. I much enjoy visiting the gardens that he started and designed. 1 Clay South Padre Island, Zone 10a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
