Day 194. This weather is wearing on me. When I broke down and said I needed us to move back to Idaho I forgot how big of an impact the winters are on me here. Please let it be over soon.
Yay, my newest king palm finally safe at home in its place. Aren't these palms just beautiful? I just had it delivered and installed this morning. With the size of the tree and delivery, the cost is a bit high but worth it to me since I can't possibly transport that in my car, let alone carry or move it on my own! I bought this king palm tree from the All Tropical Palms Nursery located down in Gilroy, CA, just off of the 101 freeway. I think I found my favorite palm tree nursery. They even have the palm that I wanted and it's hard to find at other stores (kentia palms). I am definitely going back again for more plants or trees in the near future!

*More about this palm: Its multi-colored trunk, clean appearance, and dark green fronds have made the King Palm, a popular choice for homeowners in California. When it comes to color, the King Palm is one of the best palm varieties. The trunk is smooth with a lime-green crown shaft, which is a collection of leaf bases of the plant all wrapped around one another. As the King Palm grows the oldest fronds pull away from the trunk exposing the brown trunk with growth rings. At the top, dark-green palm fronds rarely drop below the crown shaft adding a rich color that makes the lime-green crown shaft pop. King Palms are some of the best palms to plant around pools, in tropical landscape designs, or as focal points in front of a home for a 'wow' factor. As the King Palm develops, it does produce a great canopy of shade. Native to Queensland tropical rainforests in Australia, the King Palm requires minimal maintenance, are extremely hardy, drought-resistant (when established and mature), but also require good amounts of water to keep its lush green look. In the wild, these can reach 40 to 80 feet tall over time with a top frond spread of 10 to 15 feet across! This palm tree can live up to 150 years, which is a positive feature in city and urban areas that need less tree replacement and more consistent growth.
