Yup, why are there a number of English teachers around in this forum? I know there is a grammar error and i am not gonna change it. It's a typo.

You did say the following: I don't believe there were any indigineous (sic) trees in the coastal towns of South Orange County nor in Laguna Niguel. That was flat wrong. And when a biome is virtually treeless except for what grows in drainages, that tree (or trees) dominate. See?

Example: Redondo Beach (a coastal town) is named after the ranch it was once a part of: El Rancho Sausal Redondo (Ranch of the rounded willow)

Exactly, they were down in the creek beds and seasonal streams.

Interesting how you latched on to one of the glaring nuggets of misinformation posted in this thread and now regard it as the gospel of your new found knowledge.

You'll have to take that issue up with the people who corrected your grammar.

I didn't say there weren't any, I just said I didn't believe there were any. Not the first and won't be the last when my beliefs don't match the facts.

That was a pretty "sic" spelling of indigenous I'll blame on the three cocktails.

So please give me the lowdown on iceplant.

Imported to the area as a slope stabilizer. Eventually abandoned for more efficient, less invasive methods such as saltbush

Last time I checked, I lived on a tree-lined street in the west part of Garden Grove (not the "West" Garden Grove neighborhood but close.)

Head to the Inland Empire and you'll know what "no trees" really means..
