Does anybody know what water conditions are like in Northern California currently? Drought/rain wise?

I am always interested in using Ca natives and there are some really good resources around and I just thought that I would share some of that info. Here’s a list of resources in the bay area but that could be used anywhere in the state.

I am interested in CA plants too especially the mountain and desert variety. By the way whats up Jeremy? (to everyone else this is a random meeting of old friends we grew up together in Durango, Colorado). Anyway glad to be a part of this group. Working in Tahoe at Design Workshop currently…glad to join this group for some good conversation…

Wow, a California native plants group…I finally feel like I belong somewhere. Thanks for starting this group.

I am sure you are all aware of this book, but just in case…

Hi! Excited that there is a group for native plant lovers!

Hi’s and Hello’s to you all. Got a short question for you guys. I’m not familiar with mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), so do you know if this could be propagated en masse asexually? Rumor has it in the UAE that the indigenous and endemic trees here are resistant to mass asexual propagation. I hope you can prove me wrong….

Good call!
