If they are, then they must be some of the tallest Ive ever seen.

Not to many sights prettier than palms with snow
capped mountains in the background.
Not sure Trachy would survive there,they regularly hit 110-120F.
You mostly see Washys,Date palms etc,basically all the desert palms
including Chamaerops.
Driving from Phoenix to Palm Desert you pass all the towns I remember seeing as a kid
that were the always the hottest in the country.
I would not want to make that drive in summer.

Thanks dudes. I wasnt sure. The close up of the trunks looked a lot like trachys, and the crowns looked a lttle small to be washys.....until
I looked a little closer. Amazing that someone goes through and cuts all the skirts off them trees.
