..I mean, I’ve seen many palm trees, BUT those once I’ve only seen in L.A. Is that a special L.A. species? …..AND, is it not allowed to plant them anywhere else? 😀 😀 😉
Those palm trees are native to Mexico and Southern California. I don’t believe they are prohibited to plant elsewhere. 😄 But they do require similar climate, which explains why you don’t see them everywhere. They are amazing, so tall and beautiful. I love them, but some people in LA don’t and want to get rid of them, believe it or not… 😦
they look really beautiful… …why they want to get rid of them? Falling fruits? …hhmmm, I don’t want to have an encounter with a falling coconut from that heigh! 😀
They are not coconut trees so no problems with that. People have issues with the falling fronds, though. They are huge and can weigh up to half a ton! Sometimes they fall on cars and even people, causing a lot of damage. When the infamous Santa Ana winds blow hard, the trees swing and lose old fronds causing accidents and obstructing streets. They also cost the city a lot of money in maintenance. But I think none of that justifies getting rid of such iconic trees.
What is a wrecked car compare to the Beauty of your photo…. …even without coconuts!!! 😜👍🏼
Shoot 'N Go 
wonderful mood, Angela. Reminds me a bit of the ‘Hotel California’ cover.
Thanks, Markus. I can see why it reminds you of the album cover. It’s the L.A./SoCal signature palm trees. 🙂
