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!

EMAIL US AT GREGPALMS1@GMAIL.COM ANY QUESTIONS, APPOINTMENTS,                                         PRICING, HELP!     OPEN SATURDAY
5th-generation Gregory Palms farmer enjoys the shade of the Pindo palm (aka the Jelly palm, aka Butia palm).


The effects of many years of 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!

Fun Fact: The Chamaerops humillis aka the Mediterranean Fan Palm is native to Europe. The work Chamaerops comes from the Greek!

The Mediteranean Fan Palm is a clumping palm tree, growing slowly to 20 feet high, trunks 4 to 5 inches in diameter , covered with fibrous dead leaf petioles; triangular, fan-shaped blue-grey to green leaves 36 to 48 inches long and wide with spiny petioles

It is a shrub-like clumping palm, with several stems growing from a single base. The stems grow slowly and often tightly together, eventually reaching 16-20 feet tall with a trunk diameter of 4-5 inches.

It is a fan palm, with the leaves with a long petiole terminating in a rounded fan of 10-20 leaflets; each leaf is up to 3-4 feet long, with the leaflets 1 - 2 feet long. It also has numerous sharp needle-like spines produced on the leaf stems; these protect the stem growing point from browsing animals. The flowers are born in dense, short clusters at the top of the stems; it is usually (but not invariably) dioecious with male and female flowers on separate plants. The fruit is a brown drupe 1/2 - 3/4 inches long.

Mediterranean Fan Palm Characteristics
Stem/Trunk: Attractive trunk with age, fuzzy material between stubs of cut fronds
Exposure: Full to partial sun
Soil: Amended uniform
Water: Regular, deep soaking 2 times per month during growing season
Growth Rate: 5-15 ft, spread (crown) 5-20 ft; very slow growth rate (requires 10-15 years to achieve 8ft)




If you are planning to install multiple palm trees, call us today for a FREE consultation.

PALMS INSTALLED IN BEVERLY HILLS! WE DELIVERY ALL OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNA! Gregory Palm Farms - (714) 814-8525 or 760-975-4605 CHECK OUT THIS INSTALLATION OF PALMS! Canary Island Date Palms

BEVERLY HILLS is known for it's custom homes, incredible ocean views and winding roads. But that didn't stop Gregory Palms from delivering and installing a variety of palm trees to this custom Malibu Canyon home.

The owner of this amazing home had called several different landscape contractors, but none of them wanted to attempt to move all the trees up a narrow, 1.5 mile winding road.

Gregory Palms stepped up and said YES!

This project included large Canary Island Palms, Washingtonia Palms, Sago Palms and Triangle Palms.

Due to the location and the long, winding road, the palm trees had to be off-loaded from the semi-trucks onto smaller trucks for the 1.5 mile ride up the small, winding road. Because of the size and weight of the larger trees, the smaller truck needed to be pulled up the hill with a tractor in order to get it in position! The tree was WAY to heavy to drive it.

Here are some pictures of the installation and the move.













If you are planning to install multiple Canary Island palms or other types of palm trees, call us today for a FREE consultation. One of our Gregory Palm Farms family members will come to your home or project site and help with the complete overall design and recommend the best trees for your installation.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON PURCHASING A PALM TREE? 10 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT PALM TREES BY THE GREGORY PALM FARMS…714-814-8525 OR 760-975-4605 - OPEN DAILY

10 Surprising Facts about Palm Trees
 by Gregory Palm Farms.



1. There are over 2,500 species of palm trees. The Arecaceae family of plants includes wonderfully diverse species found throughout the world, from the desert to the rainforest. 

2. Not all palm trees are "trees," and not all plants called "palms" are truly palms. These evergreen plants can grow in the form of shrubs, trees or long, woody vines called lianas. Plants like the yucca palm, Torbay palm (pictured right), sago palm and traveler's palm are not part of the Arecaceae family.

3. Palm trees have two different types of leaves: palmate and pinnate. Palmate leaves, like hands, grow in a bunch at the end of a stem. Pinnate leaves are like feathers, growing all along either side of a stem. 

4. Palm trees are important religious symbols.  In the Bible, the people of Jerusalem greeted a triumphant Jesus just one week before his death and resurrection, a tradition now known and celebrated as Palm Sunday the week before Easter. Palms are mentioned dozens of times in both the Bible and the Quran. In Judaism, palms represent peace and plenty.

5. Lots of staples come from palm trees. Coconuts are an obvious product of palm trees, but did you know that dates, betel nuts and acai fruit all come from palm trees as well? Palm oil, as its name indicates, also comes from the fruit of the oil palm tree. 

6. Palm Trunks. Most Palms feature tall, cylindrical trunks that look very similar to a columns or pillars. In some types, the trunk includes hooked prickles, while others boast smooth trunks with very few markings.

The Quindio Wax Palm
7. The tallest palm tree can grow up to 197 feet tall! The Quindio wax palm (seen above), Colombia's national tree, is the tallest-growing species of palm. 

8. The coco de mer palm tree has the largest seeds of any plant on Earth. The seeds can be as large as 20 inches in diameter and as heavy as 66 pounds! 

9. Palm trees have a history with humans as old as the first societies. Archeological finds have shown that the date palm was commonly used in Mesopotamian society, for food and other purposes. Romans gave palm branches as a symbol of triumph to the triumphant champions of games and wars. 

10. Have you ever heard of palm wine? Yeah! Also called "kallu," palm wine is a common alcoholic spirit in regions of Asia and Africa. It can be created from coconut palms, date palms, the Chilean wine palm, and other species.
