The Foxtail Palm has been very popular for about 15 years...the Foxy lady palm has become very sought after and popular in the last 6 years. The Foxy Lady Palm is a hybrid between Wodyetia bifurcata x Veitchia. This house is about a mile from my house.

Terratoonie,
We have rattle snakes here which are poisonous and many other types of snakes that are not poisonous...not in my yard though. I have alligator lizards and 4 other types of lizards in my yard. I just found out about a month ago that the alligator lizards can give you a nasty bite and they are not afraid of people...I don't bother them, they don't bother me. Also, they eat a lot of bugs which is good.

Marguerite,
It is amazing how many species of palms we can grow here; at least 227 genera and the list is still growing. We have a tremendous amount of Madagascan/ New Caledonian/South American palms constantly being introduced into California .

We also can grow the tallest palms in the world- the Andean Ceroxylons,and the most massive palms in the world- The Wine palms. Neither will grow in a tropical climate like Queensland.
Seems like California grows the biggest everything.

Do you see a lot of snakes, as you might find in Texas gardens?
