The
Cold-Rating Data Base
This is a useful database listing Genera, Species, Minimum Temperatures
and USDA Zones, showing lowest survival temperatures for palms plus
access to the statistical report on each species. A very useful
reference indeed. (Vince Carr)

Sefton
Park Palm House Preservation Trust
Ten years ago it was derelict, boarded up, rusting and a danger
to the public. Local devotees pooled their energy and worked to
save this once magnificent building and they have succeeded in securing
the future for the Palm House for the next 100 years!
Moapa
Nevada's Ancient Palm trees
Ancient Palms in Nevada USA are threatened because scientists failed
to take Local Indian memories into account when attempting to ascertain
the origins of the Palms. Instead, they investigated only a single
anecdotal account from a single early White settler to the region
and prematurely claimed that the palms were non-native and should
be destroyed. Yet Local Moapa Indians have possessed stories and
artefacts for many generations indicating that the palms are ancient
Native plants.
Perhaps you would visit the website and sign a Petition to help
save these ancient American Native Palms from government destruction!
