Palm Sunday

 With Willow Hand:

From the Fresno Bee, Highway 99’s Palm and Pine markers to be moved for CA project. What’s the plan?

The historic Palm and the Pine landmark representing the unofficial divide between California’s north and south will be saved when the trees are removed from the center divider on Highway 99 for a large road widening project, state officials said. The Canary Island Date palm representing Southern California and the Deodor cedar representing Northern California will become part of a new, expanded landmark planned to go up on the west side of the road in Madera. The two trees will be added to a collection of 15 trees of each kind representing the state’s geographic halves.

Neither the Canary Island Palm or the Deodar Cedar are native to California.
