oxxo--Actually, the Blue Palms, Brahea armata, are growing in some canyons right behind you in San Quintin--drive up Socorro, not more than about five miles in from the ocean. The Blue palm is an amazingly tough and adaptable tree--I've seen them growing at around 5,000 feet in the Sierra Juarez and other southerly ranges--they take snow and cold to around 20 degrees or less. Go check them out in person and grab some seed for a true backyard native palm. And given water and fertilizer they're not so slow growing.

Who's asking about Steve from Three Arch Bay? Would you have been there in the 70's, early 80's? yep, them were the days.

Thanks to everyone for all the great replies. I'm suppose to plant 10 palms on each lot. I have 2 lots so I'm going to need lots of palms.
I realized right away that I don't know much about palms or house building. But I guess that's all part of the adventure!:cool:

Soulpatch

We have spent the last few months working on the landscape plan for our home in the San Diego area. We visited MANY different places. We ended up buying most of our palms here:

If nothing else I suggest you invest the time to go to their location. The owner, Phil Bergman, has an incredible amount of knowledge (30+ years in the field) and a whole lot of palms to show you including some very rare and interesting things.
