Day two of my =rip was spent driving around the island, with Ms. Welch, and Mr. Lopez =f Garden Leaf Nursery, who has an =nteresting business of making arrangements with private land =wners to allow them to plant palms on unused =ections of their property in exchange for the up keep and =aintinence of the land owners =and. So we litterally went ALL =VER the island checking out 5 acres here, 1acre here 1/2 acre there, =ome of them were in residential neighborhoods, some in the country =ide. The then took me to Mr Lopez's =ouse where he germinates most of the palm seeds and starts them in pots =hen they are moved to the field. They =ave a kind of sloppy, seemingly unorganized system, but it's a system =hat seems to be working. They didn't have anything over 7 years =ld so the heights were relatively low, and the variety was poor as =ell. Mostly Royal Palms, with some Christmas =alms and Prichardia's scattered among them. =nbsp; =/div> IMG_8501.JPG =/div> IMG_8502.JPG =/div> EFTA_R1_00096542 EFTA01779350 IMG_8503.JPG =/div> IMG_8504.JPG =ftliv> IMG_8505.JPG =/div> IMG_8506.JPG =/div> IMG_8507.1PG =/div> IMG_8508.JPG =/div> 'M6_8509.11'6 2 EFTA_R1_00096543 EFTA01779351 =/div> IMG_8510.1PG =/div> IMG_8511.1PG =/div> IMG_8512.1PG =/cliv> IMG_8513.JPG =/div> IMG_8514.1PG =/div> IMG_851.5.1PG =/div> 3 EFTA_R1_00096544 EFTA01779352 IMG_8516.1PG =/div> IMG_8517.JPG qdiv> IMG_8518.JPG =/div> IMG_8519.1PG =/div> IMG_8520.1PG =/div> IMG_8521.JPG =/div> 'M6_8522.656 4 EFTA_R1_00096545 EFTA01779353 =/div> IMG_8523.JPG =/div> IMG_8524.JPG =/div> IMG_8525.JPG =/div> IMG_8526.1PG =/div> IMG_8527.WG =/div> IMG_8528JPG =/div> 5 EFTA_R1_00096546 EFTA01779354 IMG_8529.1PG =/div> IMG_8530.JPG =/div> IMG_8531.JPG =/div> IMG_8532.1PG =/div> IMG_8533.1PG =/div> IMG_8534.JPG =/div> 'M6_8535-656 6 EFTA_R1_00096547 EFTA01779355 =/div> IMG_8536.1PG =/div> IMG_8537.1PG =/div> IMG_8538.1PG =/cliv> IMG_8539.JPG =/div> IMG_8540.JPG =/div> IMG_8541.JPG =/div> 7 EFTA_R1_00096548 EFTA01779356 IMG_8542.JPG =/div> IMG_8543.JPG =/div> IMG_8544.JPG =/div> IMG_8545.JPG =/div> IMG_8546.1PG =/div> IMG_8547.JPG =/div> IMG_8548.1PG 8 EFTA_R1_00096549 EFTA01779357 =/div> IMG_8549.1PG =/div> IMG_8550.JPG =/div> IMG_8565.JPG =/div> IMG_8566.1PG =/div> IMG_8567.1PG =/div> IMG_8568.JPG 9 EFTA_R1_00096550 EFTA01779358 =/div> IMG_8569.JPG =/div> IMG_8570.JPG =/div> IMG_8571.JPG =/div> IMG_8572.JPG =/div> IMG_8573.1PG =/div> IMG_8574JPG 10 EFTA_R1_00096551 EFTA01779359 =/div> IMG_8575.1PG =/div> IMG_8576.1PG =/div> IMG_8577.1PG =/div> IMG_8578.1PG =/div> IMG_8579.1PG =/div> IMG_8580.1PG =/div> IMG_8581.1PG 11 EFTA_R1_00096552 EFTA01779360 4div> IMG_8582..IPG After finishing with Ms.Welch and Mr.Lopez I was on =he western part of the island, so With the =emaining two hours I had left before I had to return my vehicle and =atch my flight, I decided to get some =ictures of Frederiksted, where I was told had some very beautiful Royal =alms, planted along the waterfront, so I wanted to see how =hey looked, being so close to the salt and wind =xposure.
