That's good to know.CIDP showing signs of better cold hardiness over W. robusta
Not many examples of that.
But it looks like he's pruning them with a meat cleaver

I know, looks bad, but I think they had too sense all the old leaves were dead.lucky1 wrote:But it looks like he's pruning them with a meat cleaverCIDP showing signs of better cold hardiness over W. robusta

I've never been to El Paso, we just use our mouse to scroll down the streets and look for plants that are of interest and lived through the 2011 "big freeze"Jubaea wrote:Interesting pictures. I'm curious if you have visited these in person before or if you are just typing in random addresses searching for plants?
I did not even recognize the turnks on the Champerops at first in the last picture. It apears to have a few basal suckers sprouting at least.
Nice! I don't think I have found a dead CIDP in El Paso yet. Some dead Robustas and almost dead med fans. Makes me question what palms are hardy and what's not.TimMAz6 wrote:nice find in El Paso Aaron..................right down the street there were a few CIDPs recovering.
Yip...I was thinking the same thing! Looks like it did better than the big ones down in the canyon floor.TimMAz6 wrote:Hi Aaron,
being high in elevation at that location may be better than the valleys since cold air won't pool.
Good one, Aaron.Agave as big as a house!
I know what you mean, I found a date palm there I never seen before.lucky1 wrote: re Bisbee palm.
How'd I miss that in my "travels"?
That guy has some age.

That Yucca sure looks like a Y. thompsoniana. Beautiful example, much bigger than others I have seen online:DesertZone wrote:2011 map view of El Paso,
Tim what yucca is this? (could be schottii?) So far this street is the only one I found with the 2011 date.

That's OK.lucky1 wrote:Now I see what my posting the incorrect link does to this posting, Aaron.
Totally screws up the loading speed.
This is one of those rare instances you don't want to EMBED the picture.
Sorry.

I liked that row of med-fans.lucky1 wrote:Recovering Washy Sierra Vista AZ
I like this street...wide open, large lots, homes set back, even some blue upright junipers here and there.
Probably had been there since the community got developed.should have waited, I bet these palms would have been ok
I tried and tried to get a better angle for the pic also.lucky1 wrote:Aaron, you're gonna laugh, but I saw that "Just down the street an unkown yucca. "
And every time I tried to zoom in to get the link for it, I ended up behind the deciduous tree and couldn't get closer to the right....AAAARGH!
What do you think that is?
Really puzzled...
I thought that looked like Cali.lucky1 wrote: Oh, and this pic (albeit in 2008 from before the killer cold) shows rare landscaping in the center.
Wonder if they're still alive.

From the look of the hills?thought that looked like Cali.
The first thing was the grass in the middle of the road, that would be very rare in az. There are a few other things, grass in the yards is much more common in Cali, the wooden fences are rare in AZ.lucky1 wrote:From the look of the hills?thought that looked like Cali.
It looked different to me too, but didn't realize it, or even why.
Maybe the light is different too?
Frustrating when the "little man" just goes home again.
That is a Yucca elata, they will grow in your yard without protection. Well, when they get a little size to them.lucky1 wrote:oops, forgot this gorgeous yucca:
Either it was protected for that bad winter or it's new...sibling to the left of driveway looks good too.
