Where is a source for palm info?

[Tom Dunlap]

Now that I'm working in Dallas I need to know about a few different trees, which is understandable. In addition, I now have to learn about palms too.

Does anyone have a good book that covers palm growth, diseases or culture?

HOw about a website?

Tom, Get a Sunset Western Garden Book. Very easy to find, even at Lowes or Home Depot. You might get all you need from there.
