Red Palm Trees At Risk

A beetle native to Southeast Asia that is a serious pest of palm trees has been found infesting Canary Island date palm trees in northern Laguna Beach near the intersection of Chiquita Street and Hillcrest Drive. The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus, is considered one of the most destructive pests of palm trees worldwide and its discovery during tree removals in residential plantings in Laguna Beach represents the first time this insect has been found in the United States.

Note: The palm pictured is only shown as a backdrop to the story. We have no idea what type of palm this is.

Featured Comment: Steve S. Your right in making that note; the palm pictured is not a Canary Island Date Palm, but rather a Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta).

The Canary Island Date Palm is actually the palm in the photo below this one.

It's a shame about the invasive weevil, since these palms can be found not just in southern California, but actually all over the United States, as they are cold tolerant.

Heisler Park Renovation Project Part 2 Starts Soon

The final phase of renovations to Heisler Park is scheduled to begin on October 11. The $2.4 million renovation project involves three areas of the park: the Diver's Cove stairway at the northern end of the park, the Monument Point area surrounding the lawn bowling courts in the central portion of the park, and the North Main Beach area from the Gazebo southerly to Main Beach. The Diver's Cove and the North Main Beach areas should be completed before the end of 2010. The Monument Point area should be completed by May 2011. The Rockpile Beach and Picnic Beach areas that were renovated in 2008 will remain open to the public during project.
