Part of what was the past beauty of Los Angeles was entwined with Palm Trees. LA has lost much of its beauty as its illegal alien population keeps growing and cheeper construction ensued. Much of LA now looks like scenes from Baghdad.The idiot environmentalists would have the Palms that are aging and dying not replaced, but they are just getting old and diseased. They are not dying because of global warming, nor is anything else. Unfortunately, the only thing that has now become immortal is climate change bureaucrats and "Climate NGOs"
LA was once covered in shady Pepper and Fig Trees too. m/r
Los Angeles' legendary palm trees are dying – and few will be replaced
A beetle and a fungus are killing off the trees that have become
synonymous with the city, making way for trees that give more shade and
use less water
They are the sultry, swaying backdrop to countless films, posters and music videos, an effective way to announce: this is Los Angeles.
Palm trees greet you outside the LAX airport, they line Hollywood Boulevard, stand guard over the Pacific and crisscross neighbourhoods poor and rich, a botanical army of stems and fronds which symbolise the world’s entertainment capital.
Apparently not for much longer. LA’s palm trees are dying. And most won’t be replaced.
A beetle known as the South American palm weevil and a fungus called Fusarium are killing palm trees across southern California. Others are dying of old age. “It’ll change the overall aesthetic because palm trees are so distinctive. It’s the look and feel of Los Angeles,” said Carol Bornstein, director of the nature gardens at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.
