- Wild California fan palms (Washingtonia filifera) growing at the 1,000 Palms Oasis in the Coachella Valley Preserve near Palm Desert, California.
Beautiful place. See u from Indonesia
Man that is gorgeous! Not cutting the fronds off may make the more cold hardy in cooler places.
Thanks Tim, such a cool place! Yeah I definitely agree, although hardiness isn't too much of a problem out there, there are several coconut palms growing in the surrounding cities. Thanks for watching and take care!
Great footage man. Love the density and all the seedlings
Thank you so much! Me too, even where you see dead palm trunks sticking up, there are tons of seedlings to fill them in, especially in the marsh area, super neat place! Thanks for watching and take care!
Amazing place!
Thanks Sandor, yeah so cool, a dream of mine, I finally got to see Washingtonia filifera growing wild! The camera really doesn't do it justice. These palm oasis habitats are incredible. You go from one of the most barren ecosystems in the world into a towering jungle and wetlands in the middle of the desert, incredible! Thanks for watching, cheers!
I’m so glad you made it to Palm Springs! I saw one of your palm videos in Arlington,VA and I thought “homeboy needs to get to Palm Springs”, but I didn’t want to be that guy in the comments. I’m glad you enjoy the palms in both California and Virginia.
Haha, yeah it was pretty incredible, Southern California is amazing and I actually hope to move there some day. Yeah I love all the palms here too, I never take them for granted! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos! Take care!
Dude I am totally a palm enthusiast as well, ever since I was a kid I was obsessed with them! I was just recently in L.A. and saw so many of those little washingtonia robusta seedlings popping up everywhere, even in the middle of cracks in the Dodger Stadium parking lot! But it's great to see the filifera's flourishing in their native environment, now I want to go there on my next trip. I live in Portland, OR and believe it or not we have quite a few Chinese Windmill Palms (Trachycarpus Fortunei) 2 of them are like 15 footers! I'll have to send you some pics of those. Now that's a cold hardy palm!
That’s awesome, welcome to the palm nut family, LOL. That’s so cool, yeah exactly, all over Southern California Washys pop up in the smallest of cracks in the cement, they’re incredible. Yeah the filifera oases out in the desert are really spectacular and such amazing ecosystems. That’s so cool, yeah there are some massive windmill palms in Portland, yes they’re super hardy, I would love to see some pics! I actually live in the Washington, D.C. area, I was just out in SoCal for a trip, feel free to check out my videos of palms in the D.C. area, there some windmill palms as well as many needle palms and dwarf palmettos. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
Nice. Been there a few times. A drive to get there, but its close by.
You’re so lucky that a gorgeous place like this is close by! It’s so beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Tropical climate with all it's natural waters back rivers,lakes springs, not only nature will revive but the climate with turn tropical
Yes this climate used to be tropical long ago, now it is subtropical desert, but the palms thrive around springs and other water sources, forming oases.
I like this place
Good luck
Your followers from Iraq
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, thanks for the support! Yes that palm oasis is amazing. That’s so cool, Iraq has some gorgeous palm trees. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
@@palmplanet ❤️
@@OnlyTruth2023 Cheers!
So magical! They are massive, I would love to see any Washingtonia species in person one day
Thanks, yeah it's a pretty incredible place! I bet you will, definitely a good goal to have, I remember the first time I saw one I was just in awe, I still am, they are amazing palms! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos! Take care!
Thanks for making this.
Just move the camera more slowly. Let the camera linger.
Will do, I’ve been working on improving my camera skills! Thanks for the input, cheers!
Great video. Been wanting to see a video of the inside of the Oasis. I definitely need to go during late fall, early winter.
Thank you so much Jerome, yeah the oasis is really incredible, a whole forest of palms in the middle of the desert, so beautiful. Yes definitely worth visiting, there are hundreds of oases throughout the Southwestern deserts and northwest Mexico. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
Amazing and fantastic view. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much, it is an amazing place and the palms are gorgeous! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos! Take care!
The palms we have over here are Sabal fan palms, they look similar here kinda. You should take a look at them.
That’s awesome, yes I grow Sabal palms myself, lots here. Love them!
So beautiful, its like a different world!
Thanks Sam, yeah it really is, that's exactly how I felt! These palm oasis ecosystems out in the middle of the desert are just incredible, such a gorgeous place! Seeing the palms rise out of the barren desert landscape is an incredible sight, I can't wait to get back out there! Thanks for watching and take care!
Paradise from another Planet
Crazy how beautiful this part of California is, they also have a turtle living out there 👀 AKA the desert tortoise.👀
Yeah it is truly stunning, yeah the desert tortoises are incredible, I didn't see any but I will keep my eyes peeled next time I am out there. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
These palms look insanely cool - they remind me of Gossamer from Looney Toons! 😂 Are they usually trimmed in cultivation? I much prefer this look, even on my young trachys.
Haha yeah they are so cool looking, forming dense palm jungles in the middle of the dry, open desert. They are usually allowed to skirt a little but not much in cultivation, at least in nearby Palm Springs. Yeah I prefer the skirted look too, so beautiful!
GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you so much, thanks for watching!! Cheers!
Nice palms 🌴
Yeah that oasis is amazing, the palms are gorgeous. Thanks!
those skirts are fulla bugs like crazy, ive had some crazy spiders pop up on me outa there. i dont recommend hanging out under those skirts
Yeah I bet, but they sure are beautiful! And on a summer day it’s nice and cool in those palm oases. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate your videos of the palms. Though I got dizzy from moving camera too fast. Would also like to see more detail of the young palms to help show differences in Washingtonia Robusta and hybrids from a very early age.
Sorry about that, I will work on my camera panning. I will try to do a video on the differences of young Washys. Thanks!
Beautiful place 😍 🌴☀️🙏
Yeah it's pretty magnificent! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos! Take care!
Palm trees grow in at least 10 states. I'm more used to the palm trees that we would see when we vacationed in South Carolina and Florida, along with the green lizards, the Venus flytraps and of course the alligators.
Yes they are native to 14 states and can grow in a lot more. Yes they always have that vacation/tropical allure, they’re such amazing plants!
I am both a "liker" and a subscriber from Lake Charles, LA who is also a palm lover. Even as a kid when our family would take trips to California, I was fascinated by these towering trees I'd seen no other place. This was before the Internet, so my reading about them was confined to buying books at a bookstore and libraries. Bummer!
Mainly, because if where I live, I'm confined to container gardening, mostly succulents. In our climate, we are able to grow palms here in southern LA, but never like this. We do have a few Washingtonia (both species), Canary Island dates (Phoenix sp.), some very old specimens that are about 50-60' feet and Cocos nucifera palms (Queen palms)usually under around 30 feet. Most winters are mild and sometimes it only freezes less than half a dozen nights, and only then down to the upper twenties for a few hours. The next day it will invariably warm up to at least the mid 40's. So you might say, the temps are a little "iffy".
Anyway, enjoy the channel and look forward to new videos always.
That's awesome, thank you so much, I really appreciate the support! Super cool, I've never been to Louisiana but I am dying to go, I've heard New Orleans is gorgeous and I've seen pictures, it looks amazing, and super palmy down there! Yes me too, I have been into palms for as long as I can remember and was always awed at them when we traveled to warm places like Southern California. Even in the age of the internet, where there is an incredible amount of palm knowledge at our disposal, there's still nothing like a good palm book, I got my first palm book when I was 14 and now have a whole shelf full of them, I love reading through them and do so often, they are excellent guides! Yeah you guys have a nice palmy and balmy climate, you can grow lots of palms, I am jealous! I live in the D.C. area and we can basically grow needle palms, dwarf palmettos, Trachys (somewhat marginal here), and a couple other species will manage to make it at least in mild winters, that's why it's always so special when I travel out to Southern California and see all these incredible palms growing there, it's an amazing place! My dream is to move out to SoCal some day and create a massive palm garden in my yard, till then it's hardy palm growing and zone pushing for me in the D.C. area. One note: when you said Cocos nucifera, those are actually coconut palms, not queen palms, queen palms are Syagrus romanzoffiana. Queens are closely related to coconuts but they are hardier, C. nucifera will only grow in Central and Southern Florida as well as the Rio Grande Valley in far South Texas in the east, and a few specimens manage to survive the dry, hot summers and cool, wet winters of Southern California, I have videos of a couple beautiful specimens out there, I will definitely be trying one or a few if and when I move there. Thank you very much, that is very kind of you to say, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos! Take care!
I watched about a video about filifera and I thought I already watched this video and I didn’t click on it, but then it realized it was you 😂
Haha, I think I might know the video you're talking about, there is another CZcams video on a W. filifera oasis with a similar thumbnail. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
@@palmplanet yep!
@@gasubtropics Thanks for watching, cheers man!
They look like they had really thick hairy trunks but those are just the old leaves.
Haha yeah, those are just the skirts, they are so beautiful! Thanks for watching, take care!
Very Cool! What kind of animals live in there? I bet there are lizards or reptiles?
Yes lizards, reptiles, and some fish in the springs. I think there are desert tortoises and desert iguanas. Such a beautiful area!
@@palmplanet Wow so cool
@@jeffhampton2767 Indeed!
You see what these look like in their wild, natural state - which is virtually never allowed in cultivation, since the fronds and even their stubs are ripped off of the trunks. People think they look messy otherwise.
Yes exactly, I think they look amazing with the full petticoat, they're gorgeous palms. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Wow 🌴👍
Thanks, super cool place! Cheers!
Wow I want to be there
Yeah such an amazing place, absolutely gorgeous and the palms are incredible! Cheers Joseph, thanks for watching!
Where is the largest population of these 🌴
It is either Palm Canyon south of Palm Springs, where the oasis of palms follows the creek for miles, or Cañon El Tajo about 20 miles south of the California border in Baja California, Mexico, where the Washingtonia filifera mix with the northern reaches of Brahea armata in a gorgeous canyon setting, I would love to go there some day. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
perfect habitat for fruit bats.
Yes exactly, they nest in the Cali fan palm skirts. Super cool oasis ecosystem. Thanks for watching!
Do they grow really fast?
Very fast, I collected seed from that oasis and they germinated in the baggy within 4 weeks, the seedlings are now about 6 inches tall and growing quite fast. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos, take care!
I’m surprised those seedlings are growing in standing water
Oh yeah, they may be desert plants but they thrive in wet, swampy conditions. It's an amazing ecosystem in those palm oases, they are incredible, it's like a totally different world from the surrounding desert. Thanks for watching and take care!
