Neutral palmbob On Jan 29, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

don't know much about this plant other than it is growing happily in Pasadena California, a zone 9b, so it has some broader cultivational adaptation than listed for this plant. Very short needles (hence the name). Also called the Cyprian Cedar by some (the botanical gardens I found it in).
