Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. Believe it or not there are many arid land palms in the world.
Many palms originate from hot dry tropics, some even from deserts.
These palms volunteer so much that many people consider them weeds because they are constantly pulling the seedlings up which volunteer throughout the irrigated landscape. Many other palms are grown in arid cities. These species are very common and do very well in arid climates, surprisingly with very little care. Some of these species should be used over some of the common species. I have been making a list of such plants for two years.
