Hello,
You have a great informational website on palms that your are growing in SF. I too have a palm garden in SF located out by the SF zoo. It is a small 30×30 ft yard and I have crammed in many of the same species you have. Here is my list (Hedyscepe, Rhopalostylis var chatham island, Rhopalostulis baueri, Dypsis Decipeiens, Pritchardia Hillibrandtii, Howea Fort & Bell, Ceroxylon Parvifrons & Parvum, Chambeyronia M (Not looking good at all), chamerops humilis (blue and green), Dypsis Baronii, Sabal minor, and chamedorea radicalls.
Great work on your yard and website.
Happy Growing
Dan
