L.A. desperately needs more shade. So why were 77 palm trees planted near LACMA?
In 2006, the Los Angeles City Council decreed that the city should limit further planting of Mexican fan palms as street trees except to fill in gaps in existing plantings and instead plant trees that help our environment.
Nineteen years later, Mexican fan palms are still on L.A.’s list of acceptable street trees.
This summer, at least 77 new fan palms have been planted along two blocks of Wilshire Boulevard near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
