red palms

Red Palms
International Palm Society Member Angela Blakely of Hawaii
“Angela wrote, ‘Growing up in inland Southern California and seeing the
same old landscape palms – Phoenix canariensis, Syagrus romanzoffiana,
Washingtonia robusta – over and over again, I never paid much attention
to the colors of palms. For me they were always green.1

International Palm Society Member Angela Blakely
of Hawaii:
When I later learned that
C. macrocarpa was a red emergent leaf, my first response was
disbelief! My second was, ‘Where can I get my hands on one?’ The red
new leaf of C. macrocarpa was a revelation. From the moment
I laid eyes on that red leaf I was transformed into an enthusiast.”1
