Drought Tolerant Palms: The Jelly Palm (Their seeds make yummy jelly) at the Gregory Palm Farms (714) 814-8525/760)975-4605 Canary Palms, Date palms, triangle palm

Hi!

5th-generation Gregory Palms farmer enjoys the shade of the Pindo palm (aka the Jelly palm, aka Butia palm).


The effects of this 4-year long drought is quite obvious. All one has to do is drive through any suburban neighborhood in Southern California and they will see dying lawn after dying lawn. Apartment complexes and businesses plazas have put up signs asking their residents and patrons to excuse the appearance of their landscape while they make an effort to adhere to the water conservation policies.

So is there a light at the end of this dry and parched tunnel?

The answer is sort of. While we may not be able to perform rain dances to summon a downpour of clear, liquid gold, we can ease the suffering on our landscapes.

Replacing grass lawns and yards with drought-tolerant plants and trees not only helps efforts with conserving water but also makes that walk to your front doorstep a lot less depressing! Instead of using grass to cover your lawn, opt for rock or wood chips with succulents and other drought-friendly plants. 


You can still have the luscious green yard without breaking the bank with water fines.


The Jelly palm (first picture above) is another great alternative for your lawn as it requires little watering. Its blue-green, recurved leaves will give any lawn a more exotic and island-like feel. It can withstand high temperatures as well as temperatures down to 10-degrees Fahrenheit.  It also produces a sweet/tart fruit that is great for making jellies and wine from.


Stay hydrated with Jelly palm wine and jelly!
