<h2>Growing Guide</h2>
<h4>FOR THE MARGINAL SUB-TROPICS</h4>
''<p>by Geoff Stein </p><br/>''
This guide was initially intended to list the palms that could be grown outdoors in California. Since then as proven to be a valuable growing tool for the subtropical climates which are characterised by hot summers and mild winters with infrequent frost occurrence. The climatic range of this locations vary between humid subtropical, where rainfall is concentrated in the warmest months and dry summer or Mediterranean climate, where seasonal rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, such as the Mediterranean Basin or Southern California. It also comprises locations with Oceanic climates, such part of the Pacific Northwest, much of southern Chile, parts of west-central Argentina, and parts of New Zealand, the same goes for a number of oceanic islands such as Madeira, the Juan Fernández Islands, the western part of the Canary Islands, and the eastern part of the Azores.
<br/><br/>
The majority of the regions with this climacteric properties have relatively mild winters and enjoy warm summers. Temperature variations can occur within different regions, being influenced on altitude, geography and the proximity to large bodies of water.
<br/><br/>
'''Temperatures during winter only very occasionally fall below the freezing point.'''
<br/><br/>
Mediterranean climatic zones, include: Algiers, Athens, Barcelona, Beirut, İzmir, Jerusalem, Marseille, Monaco, Naples, Rome, Tunis, Valencia, and Valletta. Locations with Mediterranean climates outside of the Mediterranean Basin include Adelaide, Cape Town, Casablanca, Dushanbe, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Perth, Porto, San Francisco, Santiago, Tashkent and Victoria.

Vonitra utilis

Joaocosta:

<center>'''Pronunciation''': Vonitra YOU-till-iss
<br/>
'''Common Name''': Vonitra Palm
</center>
'''''Vonitra utilis''''' is another of the 'hairy' branching Vonitra that have been grown successfully in California for many decades now, though it is still not an overly common or popular palm. This is one of the larger hairy Vonitras and so far has proven fairly easy to grow, but suffers in full inland sun (partial sun near the coast might be tolerated).

Vonitra pusilla

Joaocosta:

<center>'''Pronunciation''': Vonitra pew-SILL-uh
<br/>
'''Common Name''': none
</center>
'''''Vonitra pusilla''''' has recently become a more popular California palm choice due primarily to its more recent availability. It is one of the 'hairy' Vonitras, but a more compact plant than the other three (''Vonitra crinita, Vonitra fibrosa and Vonitra utilis''). So far it does not appear that this one is a normally branching palm but branching ones have been seen in nature. Like its relatives, it does tend to have nicely coloured new leaves (red or orange).

Vonitra crinita

<center>'''Pronunciation''': Vonitra cruh-KNEE-tuh

'''Common Name''': Vonitra Palm
</center>
'''''Vonitra crinita''''' is one of several closely related 'cousin It' palms that come from Madagascar that seem to have a fairly good deal of cold tolerance here in California, the others being ''Dypsis fibrosa, utilis'' and maybe ''pusilla''. All of these have some degree of pendent trunk fibers that look a bit like dry hair. Some of these are very difficult to tell apart. These are not particularly spectacular palms but do have a pleasing orange to red new leaf, which is always a plus. Additionally, they are one of the branching palms. So far, however, no actual branching has been observed in California in these palms (yet).

<center>'''Pronunciation''': DIP-siss cruh-KNEE-tuh
<br/>
'''Common Name''': Vonitra Palm
</center>
'''''Dypsis crinita''''' is one of several closely related 'cousin It' palms that come from Madagascar that seem to have a fairly good deal of cold tolerance here in California, the others being ''Dypsis fibrosa, utilis'' and maybe ''pusilla''. All of these have some degree of pendent trunk fibers that look a bit like dry hair. Some of these are very difficult to tell apart. These are not particularly spectacular palms but do have a pleasing orange to red new leaf, which is always a plus. Additionally, they are one of the branching palms. So far, however, no actual branching has been observed in California in these palms (yet).

<h2>Growing Guide</h2>
<h4>FOR THE MARGINAL SUB-TROPICS</h4>
''<p>by Geoff Stein </p><br/>''
This guide was intended to list the palms that could be grown outdoors in California. Since then as proven to be a valuable growing tool for the subtropical climates which are characterised by hot summers and mild winters with infrequent frost occurrence. The climatic range of this locations vary between humid subtropical, where rainfall is concentrated in the warmest months and dry summer or Mediterranean climate, where seasonal rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, such as the Mediterranean Basin or Southern California. It also comprises locations with Oceanic climates, such part of the Pacific Northwest, much of southern Chile, parts of west-central Argentina, and parts of New Zealand, the same goes for a number of oceanic islands such as Madeira, the Juan Fernández Islands, the western part of the Canary Islands, and the eastern part of the Azores.
<br/><br/>
The majority of the regions with this climacteric properties have relatively mild winters and enjoy warm summers. Temperatures variations can occur within different regions, being influenced on altitude, geography and the proximity to large bodies of water.
<br/><br/>
'''Temperatures during winter only very occasionally fall below the freezing point.'''
<br/><br/>
Mediterranean climatic zones, include: Algiers, Athens, Barcelona, Beirut, İzmir, Jerusalem, Marseille, Monaco, Naples, Rome, Tunis, Valencia, and Valletta. Locations with Mediterranean climates outside of the Mediterranean Basin include Adelaide, Cape Town, Casablanca, Dushanbe, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Perth, Porto, San Francisco, Santiago, Tashkent and Victoria.

<h3>Growing Guide</h3>
<h4>CULTURAL INFORMATION FOR THE MARGINAL SUB-TROPICS</h4>
<p>Geoff Stein - Author & Editor</p><br/><br/>
<p>
When Geoff Stein edited and published the second edition of Palms For Southern California over 20 years ago, there were relatively few palms that were known to grow outdoors in California. And his publication was just about the only reference available on the subject. There was no internet, and few places to buy these palms. Those early editions listed about 100 species. By the fourth edition, completed in 2005, there were over 400 species - hybrids and cultivars included.
<br/><br/>
Since then, more new species have been made available, and many of these are potential palms for an outdoor garden in California. There are now many nurseries where these previously rare and unknown species can be purchased. Around 500 species of palms are now periodically available that will grow in California gardens if given the right conditions. This web edition is not a new revision, but a whole new "publication," with updated information, a new format, photos instead of drawings, and including all of California as well.
<br/><br/>
Diligently referring to this reference will save you money, time, and sadness since you will be much more successful as one of those gardeners who likes to push the envelope and plant the rare and exotic new species.
