AZ, cochise county vacation
I just got back a couple of days ago and have a few pics. I did not take a lot of pics of palms from the warmer places in AZ, just things from Cochise County because that is were my property is and because it is a colder place than most of southern Arizona so it still ranks as a cold-hardy palm place.
Texas Cayon in AZ
Dasylirion W. in Willcox AZ. It has to big crowns, but you can only see one "sorry"
Pomagranit, in Bisbee Az
Yucca rigda, in cochise stronghold park
Nolina in Cochice stronghold
yucca schottii, at cochise stronghold
I will post more later.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Great pictures Aaron!
I really haven't personally been to the desert much (other then Aruba) but it's always fascinated me. The will to live is truly amazing there!
I have to say my desert plant knowledge is close to zero but I can tell that "Dasylirion w., cochise stronghold" is around a good 8 feet+! For
sure a must see in person to really appreciate the size. I have the same problem when I see things like that, I wonder how could I ever post
it's true beauty.
Hope you had a nice vacation, thanks for posting it!

I looked this time but found nothing even though I seen tons of yuccas and agave. The plants that I seen with good seed were always when we were driving and I had my wife and parents in the car and my wife hates when I stop to "check things out"Okanagan desert-palms wrote:Any seeds?

I can tell you were a good place for cold hardy agave, dasylirion and yuccas is. There was many even at high elevations in the chiricahua mountains.

Aaron excellent photos. I see that you planted a Washy filifera(filibusta)? Butia capitata, Med fan palm,cactus ,yuccas. Will someone be there to water the new plantings or will you rely on the summer monsoon rains? Great pics of your piece of arizona paradise.

Aaron, thanks for those fabulous pictures.
Great photography.
I love the desert look, and your property is fabulous.
The photos were so great, I feel like I've visited there...thanks for that.
The geologic processes that created Arizona's landscapes are so fascinating.
Andrew Alden, the geologist, has great explanations and pics here:
http://geology.about.com/od/geology_az/ ... icahua.htm
Aaron, that Washy sure looks at home on your property!
Are there other med fan palms planted nearby?
Those cemetery agaves are stunning...wow.
Are those St.David robustas planted on an island?????
And the daisylirion and saguaros are fabulous.
You're a lucky man Aaron.
So when are you moving there?
So we can visit you,
Thanks again.
Barb

I will be relying on the monsoons, but I think the palms will not make it. I thought it was worth a try.
I got the water for planting from my neighbors. They are old but I did not even ask if they would water them for me. They are so nice that they would, but it is alot of work to haul water that far.
I also got a few good cuttings of opuntia ficus from a nice person in town, so in a few years I should have a couple of tree prickly-pears. And I also planted a bunch of barrel (fero-cactus)
PS the washy is a pure filifera, came from good seed stock and was the hairest filifera I have ever seen.

Yes the robustas are on a small island at the mission. St. David has a few ponds in the area.
15-20 years or as soon as I can retire. And yes everyone is welcome.
Still there, just bigger.

Barb,
I know for me it would be heaven. I have winter depression, so a few months around a little sun and few palm-trees are going to do me some good.
I love it here in the summer, but as soon as I get my house paid off I think I might buy a place in Sunsites or build on my property for year round residents.
Ha...who knows... maybe by then I will have changed my mind.

Nice Y.bacata .how old?
I'm guessing 20+ years.
I love the colors of the desert...yet here we are getting smacked with water restrictions, so I'd better quit dreaming.
Enough desert here already.
Hey Aaron, winter weather can be gloomy with few sunny days here.
I just remind myself that without the cloud cover we'd be 20 degrees colder in winter.
That cheers me up!
I bet you won't change your mind...building on your property is a great idea.
Or throw a couple of trailers on it, one for you in winter, one for caretakers.

Barb, I think you are right. I would guess about 20 years also.
Yea, the desert has some nice colors, but some green is a welcome sight.
I think normaly winter is not that bad until it last forever like this and last years winter.\
I change my mind so much that now I'm thinking a couple (one for the caretakers) of RV's for the winter might not be a bad idea. The weather has warmed and I've been outside and things are growing good, so maybe I stay here during the summer.

Very cool Aaron! As a desert plant guy, I must say I'm very envious of somebody with two amazing properties!
Is it possible, or reasonable, to pay someone to water your plants through the AZ summer?
Take Care,
Duncan

Well... my neighbors checked on my plants for me and all my palms have died. The good news is that all my cactus they could see are doing very good. I love my neighbors.
I will try some palms again next year.

Oh, no, Aaron!all my palms have died.
How could the neighbors have been so negligent...knowing how you love your plants!
Despite that bad news, I hope you had a great vacation.
Do any digging and potting up?

Well...I don't blame my neighbrs, they are the nicest people I have ever met. They are in their 80's and hauling water from their place to mine was not easy so I never even asked if they would water my plants while I was gone. I think if I did they would have, but then I would have felt rather guilty. It sounded like I was upset with them in my post, but I was meaning that I realy do love them.lucky1 wrote: How could the neighbors have been so negligent...knowing how you love your plants!

As far as digging up plants, none. I wanted to but it seemed like time goes by so fast and my wife was not much for hanging out in the car while I hiked around.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Good that you've got neighbors you like.
Fortunate indeed, despite the loss of the palms.
Bet you enjoyed seeing the desert plants, even if you didn't have your shovel along.

I did Barb, very much so. Even though I've been back for 2 months it's all I think about. My other hobbies are birds and reptiles and that part of AZ is just about as good as it gets for both. Its like an all you can eat smorgesboard for me. There is so much stuff for me to look for I almost get dizzy.lucky1 wrote:Bet you enjoyed seeing the desert plants, even if you didn't have your shovel along.

Aaron, blue sky...yipppeeeee!
That open pit mine...they just leave it that way?
I thought mines had to close them in afterwards and replant the surrounding area to native grasses, etc.
Beautiful indeed.
Dry hills around our place look like that too, only with Diffused and/or Spooted Knapweed growing everywhere
I can easily see why you're in love with Arizona.

That mine was from the 40's I think, not much they can do with it now. It does make for a nice tourist trap though.lucky1 wrote: That open pit mine...they just leave it that way?

Spooted sorry.
That stuff is a curse, destroying native bunchgrass.
And even sheep and goats won't eat it.
Darn.

I know I talk about my neighbors in AZ, so here is a pic of them and my parents.
This was taken in one of their old horse barns. From left to right is my Mom and niece, Carleen my neighbor, my Dad, and Bill my neighbor. I love my Dads big sunglasses.

Sitting in a horse barn for shade in AZ...wonderful!
Understand why you don't want them hauling buckets of water to look after plants at your place...

I'd be out there pruning the skirts...
