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

Native to the Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara, California..., and possibly other areas of So Cal... this is a very drought tolerant, fuzzy-leaf shrub. It develops cherry-sized green fruit in mid spring. Sensitive to overwatering.
