On my "to do" list is a road trip down to see wild Sabal minor "McCurtain" and collect seed. That biosurvey website has GPS coordinates that should get me to the right spot. 😀

Erik,
Didn't you say before that it was meth cooker land out there? Be careful if you go out there! Grab me some if you do 😉

Jim,
I remember someone telling me once that Warren, Arkansas had a pretty good clump of minors, but that's south Arkansas in the swamps like you described.

I spent last evening with a professional horticulturist/arborist and he wants to go along with me. We figure winter is the time to do it as the absence of leaves on the deciduous trees/shrubs will make the Sabal easier to spot.
Buried deep in the state biosurvey data sets are GPS coordinates 😀

Jeez, Erik, be careful.
Is the risk worth it? 😕

It's most likely not all that bad, but times are tough! Erik's the one who said there were tweekers down there in a past post, like my cops reference :tongue:
Right Erik???

That's the reputation of McCurtain County. Don't know if it is true.
I don't want to seem glib, but having guns pointed at you by bad guys comes with the profession.
Still much safer than being a police officer, let alone serving in the military.

Not the profession of collecting palm seeds 😯
You said this before about the area, I was just giving you a heads up.
What do I know, I live Massachusetts not to many meth people in the woods around here 😐

I meant field biology/conservation biology. Walking around in the woods with binoculars, camera and a notebook? Somehow that makes me look suspicious to some people. 😯

Jesse
Possibly a little below 0(F) here by Sun-Mon and maybe colder if there is snow cover.

Sorry, Jim.
We're going to miss the worst down here. Sunday high of 32 oF; Monday low of about 18 oF as the SW high pressure shields us from the worst.
Thank you, La Nina!

Blond hair, blue eyes, you look like a COP! Bring your gun when you go out there into the woods to be safe 😕 😕 😕 You'll be glad you did!
Ask your W she'll say bring it too 😉
