Unfortunately, the threats to earths diverse palm species are increasing every year, both in the wild and in cultivation. Simultaneously, for varied reasons, the use of palm trees in the landscape has become an increasingly hot debate topic in the Desert Southwest and across the globe in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>During our walk we will discuss why the debate mentioned above continues. We\u2019ll touch on cultivation requirements and review some increasingly common questions like the ones below.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>What roles do palms play in the environment?<\/li>\n<li>What are some threats to palms in the wild?<\/li>\n<li>Are Palm Trees still a viable choice for Southern California Landscapes?<\/li>\n<li>If so, which species are the best choice?<\/li>\n<li>When and where should we plant them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>We\u2019ll, meet at LRC south.
