Hello Palm Friends! The Northern California Palm Society is planning on resuming activities and garden visits this summer. As COVID restrictions continue to decline, we are so looking forward to seeing our palm tree enthusiast friends. Our long-time Oakland Palmetum volunteers Darold Petty and Richard Quiroz are no longer involved with the palmetum. Richard has also stepped down from his role as the NCPS President.

We have recently welcomed Will Abel to our NCPS team as Vice President. He has b…

PBPCS General Meeting: Wednesday May 5, 2021 @ 7 pm Speaker: Dr. Larry Noblick "An Ice Age Relic Palm in Arizona" In the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge of Arizona, there is a relic population of Washingtonia growing in a remote narrow desert canyon surrounded by Sonoran Desert vegetation. Some scientists have dared to recognize it as a new species and others have dismissed the idea. In a recent study it was found to be an outlier from all others in the genus based on morphology. Is it a new species? Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85841720590?pwd=Um11UVZPTk12RUZOWHBZWHVueVNEZz09 Call in: 1-669-900-6833 Meeting ID: 85841720590
