Nothing speaks Southern California better than our stately palm trees. Known for their diversity and tremendous beauty, they are in abundance here at LCG. As you enter on Levante Street, you are introduced to the community by a dramatic column of 20 Date Palms lining both sides of the street.
Phoenix dactylifera will grow up to 100 feet. Continuing past the safety kiosk, you see some 40 Queen Palms,
Syagrus romanzoffiana, a native of Brazil named for Count Romanzoff. Along the center roadway divider, note a row of Pygmy Date Palms,
Phoenix robellini. At the Lakeside Clubhouse you will find 91 Mexican Fan Palms,
Washingtonia robusta, plus 68 more Pygmy Date Palms at the outdoor pool! The Fairway Clubhouse is home to over 330 Mexican Fans and Queen Palms. What a wonderful collection.
