California Native Plants 14 years, 1 month agoI have been using more Baccharis pilularis ‘Pigeon Point’ up here in the East Bay of S.F. It seems to be an easy evergreen plant. So far, so good.
Has anyone had any problems with it after it has established?
Also what is your favorite Ceanothus and why?

Living Roofs and Walls 14 years, 8 months agoWhat does everyone think about green roofs in the desert? Specifically the Mojave Desert? Given how much energy costs these days, would they not be beneficial? Or would the cost of having to irrigate them (which you would have to in the desert) be worth it?
