☔️ 💨 Infamous PNW Winter Monsoon began today. Palms are all snug in the garage. We will see you in March. 🍀

The best palms are ones that don’t require seatbelts. Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. 🌴🌴🌴

Roll Call: Remember these from late 2024 that germinated from seed? Not so small anymore. Washingtonia robusta (& filibusta hybrid) are by far one of the fastest growing palms from seed on earth.

I will take “Things Sane People Don’t Do For 500 Alex”…..Palms, everywhere.

I feel honored when my family goes on vacation for the sole purpose of taking palm tree pictures. 😅🤩🥳

Born November 2024. The fastest growing palm tree from seed in the world, IMO. Meet the Mexican Fan Palm. This is actually a W. filibusta (hybrid) but clearly got its growth genes from the robusta side.

☀️A normal Portland summer. Sunny with a chance of blue sky.

Anyone else notice the Trachycarpus trunks in the PNW are just super thick? 🌴💪

🥵 4 years ago...Portland hit 116° on this date, a new all-time high temperature. We had hit 107° three times in the past.

➡️As mentioned in the blog post last night, it was a brief but unprecedented event. Two days later we didn't get out of the 70s. This image is from an old blog post so it was before the official high of 116° had been recorded. Note the 54° temperature difference between Newport and Salem!

➡️Dozens of people died just in the Portland metro area...most of them elderly and alone. Always check on friends/neighbors if we get extreme heat, anything above 100° will be a problem in our climate for those without air-conditioning in urban areas. A study presented at the American Meteorological Society broadcaster's conference I attended this week pointed out that fans become ineffective above ~95° (indoor temp)

Four years ago was the start of a historic three days of record-breaking heat. By June 28, temperatures climbed to 116°, shattering the previous all-time high temperature of 107° in 1981.
