This presentation will cover some popular types of palms that thrive in the Rio Grande Valley. Malloy will also provide tips on the proper time and how to prune palm trees as well as feeding them. With the extreme weather, Malloy will also discuss how and when to anticipate the weather’s wrath and how to combat it to protect palm trees. He will also discuss the environmental approach to protecting the landscape, real estate values and creating a habitat for birds, bats, and other wildlife. Malloy moved to the Lower Rio Grande Valley from Florida in 2013. His grandfather was a Florida State Forester for 42 years and horticulturalist who first introduced Malloy at a young age to the wonders of air layering, grafting and exotic gardening. He is former U.S. Army and law enforcement. He became a Cameron County Master Gardener shortly after arriving in the LRGV and subsequently served as president of the association for three years. Currently he is the President of the Palm Society of South Texas and a member of the International Palm Society. Sunday Speaker Series is included in the fee for regular museum admission. FRIENDS of MOSTHistory are admitted free and must present their FRIENDship card at the Admissions Desk.
