Dozens of palm trees line a street south of Ventura Blvd in Tarzana, giving it a tropical look. There are roughly around 2,600 species of palms, which can live in almost every type of habitat, but most are restricted to tropical or subtropical climates. Unfortunately, at least 100 palm species are currently endangered, and nine species have reportedly recently become extinct. Palms are one of the most well-known and extensively cultivated plant families, and are widely used in landscaping for their exotic appearance, making them one of the most economically important plants. Today, palms are valuable as ornamental plants and are often grown along streets in tropical and subtropical cities, apparantly cities such as Tarzana, California. Photograph dated May 8, 2002.
