Much of my writing here focuses on Canary Island date palms. An August treatment visit included those palms alongside two other kinds: Chilean wine palms and Sylvester palms.
On August 22, I carried out an on-site assessment and treatment visit for specimen palms from all three groups in San Diego County. This field note looks back at that completed work.
A collection with more than one kind of palm
I want a conversation about a palm collection to start with the palms actually there. In this case, the service included Chilean wine, Canary Island date and Sylvester palms. Calling the job only a Canary Island date palm visit would leave part of the work out.
For an owner with a mixed collection, that is a useful starting point when asking about care: tell me which palms you have, what you have noticed, and what work has already been done. We can then discuss the scope of an assessment and the next steps for the collection.
The visit and the follow-through
The August service establishes that an assessment and treatment took place. It does not establish a later condition or a treatment outcome. I will keep any later observations separate from the account of this visit.
If your property has several kinds of specimen palms, tell me about them when you request an assessment. Read more about SDPP's specimen palm and cycad services.
