Article: The best trees for a cactus and succulent garden: Memories of Southern California

Author Content gloria125 Greensboro, AL December 11, 2008 3:45 PM Post #5881442 Many years since Ive been in Southern California and I had almost forgot the unique vegetation of that region. There was a Erythrina at the entrance to our classroom at San Diego State - what a beautiful and majestic tree! Especially with the red blooms against the blue sky. Do the aloe trees also bloom? And what about the California Live Oak? What an enjoyable article. Thank you. gloria palmbob Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) December 11, 2008 4:58 PM Post #5881710 I had California Oak on my original list, but after looking beneath these trees and seeing the horrific mess they make, I left it off. gloria125 Greensboro, AL December 11, 2008 5:07 PM Post #5881748 Do the aloe trees have red blooms? palmbob Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) December 12, 2008 4:40 AM Post #5883663 Some do... there are dozens of Aloe trees, but the one in the article has orange flowers. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/460/ This message was edited Dec 11, 2008 8:41 PM gloria125 Greensboro, AL December 12, 2008 5:13 AM Post #5883707 Thanks, Palmbob.
