Some palms of UC Berkeley,including the hardy.
They are not big on tropical palms as Berkeley itself is moderate in summer. The general hillside location also creates very fast drainage and many palms look a little on the grown hard side. The palms in the landscaping parts of the garden look nicer then the actual palms only area. They might be better doing things that way for the entire garden. Windmill by a stream. Very nice look.
Rhapsis multifada. They need to plant more in the Asian garden. Fantastic palm.
Chamaedorea adscendens.
Needle palm.
Mexican Sabal- with frost burn. Must be very sensitive.
Ceroxylon parvum.
Wallichia disticha
Caryota uhrens.
Ceroxylon parvum trunk.
Brahea armata and Washingtonia robusta.
Parajubaea torallyi
A final look back..

Re: Some palms of UC Berkeley,including the hardy.
Thanks for the pics Stan. I always thought UC Berkeley was frost free. Seems strange that Sabal looks so damaged as they still have good frost resistance??

Re: Some palms of UC Berkeley,including the hardy.
That was the only sign of frost damage in the garden. It must be a near tropical Sabal. Also- here's a nice Butia and Rock Brahea in pots.
Ravenea madagascarensis. Its about the same as I saw it 5-6 years ago. Very marginal.

Re: Some palms of UC Berkeley,including the hardy.
The botanic garden at Berkeley does get some frost almost every winter, and this past winter was just cold enough to kill off many of the flowers on several winter blooming Aloe species. They do cover some more sensitive plants each winter when freezes are predicted. Coldest temps at this garden ranged from 17°F to 25°F in the December 1990 freeze which lasted for 10 days in a row. We seem to get bad freezes here about every 30 years or so.
