Re: interesting plants

I wish I saw more people growing dymondia (then it wouldn't be so hard to find it in nurseries), as far as the olives, I agree they are very handsome trees, but I wish I didn't see so many "lollipops" growing in lawns! For some reason (regardless of planting location) they never seem to fruit around here.

I would love to see more olive trees.  People think they are too messy, but I think everyone should learn how to press their own olive oil or pick and cure olives!  Then you don't need to worry about the mess.  Or, get the variety that doesn't produce flowers.

Hi everyone

I am working on presentation on new and underutilized plants for Southern California's Mediterranean climate gardes.  I have a huge list of my favorites but I wonder what you all think.  What Mediterranean and arid climate plants do you think could be used more in gardens, especially if you've visited or live in Southern California.

Thanks!

Nan
