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.

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.

Growing Guide

FOR THE MARGINAL SUB-TROPICS

by Geoff Stein


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.

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.

Temperatures during winter only very occasionally fall below the freezing point.

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.
