Yesterday I spent an obscene amount of time in the De Luz area of Fallbrook looking for an old house that the Map book showed about 5 ways to get there. Turns out there is ONE way, not too mention there is no phone reception and they didn't put their name or address out to see... But I digress. Saw this while wandering around and it looked pretty cool. The bloom looked awesome too. I like when I don't even have to get out of the van to take a picture. Any ideas?

I remember growing palms when I was 10-11 like you guys. I would be at my grandparents place in Cocoa Beach, collecting Coconuts and Palmetto seeds. This was 1992-93, so its been a while. All I can say is plant early and try not to move! I joined this forum when I was 22, now I am 28.

Yep, when it comes to plant ID, fastfeat is an ace. Check out this photo I found on Google of a Yucca whipplei in cultivation. That's a good looking plant! Plant Depot in San Juan Capistrano had a few 1 gal. Whippleis from San Marcos Growers last year.

Howdyall: That 8.8 earthquake that hit Chile was 900 TIMES as strong as the one that whacked Haiti, which was about a 7.0 (7.0 was the one the hit LA in 1994, and that [expletive] was powerful enough as it is.) Here's a pic of post-tsunami damage:

If I had of planted palms when I was 12 my dad would have mowed over them, anyway whenever I was in the yard then it was to play rugby league or cricket or combat or rugby league or cricket and occasionaly climbing one of our mango trees. Good luck to you younger folk and plant a large palm now if you're allowed, in 20 years she'll be a monster.
