Wow! (except the photo of your foot) 😆 😆

Such healthy looking pine trees overhanging the beach and on the mountain slopes. Our pines aren't that lush looking.
Bougainvillea grows there, or is it potted? And those palms!
The CIDPs along the waterfront road are sooooooo beautiful, interesting pruning technique, considerably different from how Southern California pruners do it.
Their aim is a clear trunk with no hint of old leaf bases, then the "pineapple".

And the CIDPs in fruit!
Did you start your CIDP from one of those seeds on the beach?

Thanks for the great pics...and shoe size 11 😆 😆

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

i didn't grow mine cidp from seeds of those from dalmatia. i bought mine in one nursery,for about 5 dolars. it was damaged a lot but central spear was green and healthy,and i took it. regular price was about 40 bucks,but because it was damaged there was a discount.
dalmatia have mediteranean climate, so lot of exotics grow there. palms,olives,lemons,orange,agave,cactus,grapes....
we have very good vines

damir,

Ah...to be able to grow bougainvillea, olives, lemons and CIDP outdoors is a wonderful dream!

Once again thanks for great links, fabulous Mediterranean climate and those pictures of limestone bluffs at 20-34 degree slopes!
The 2nd and 5th pictures remind me of similar steep vineyards we saw many years ago during a boat trip down the Rhine in Germany.

Photos make me want to get out of here...permanently. 😆

I think I would trade my zone 8b for a zone 9, I'm never happy. 🙄 😆

Nice j-tree by the way. 8)
