This issue’s cover story on the Giant Palmyra Coconut highlights the work of Dr. Patrick Griffith, MBC Executive Director (pages 6-7). Dr. Larry Noblick, Palm Biologist Emeritus, writes about palms in Cabo Verde (pages 4-5), and you can find a special article on landscape design titled, “Montgomery’s Lakes” on pages 8 and 9.  Research Updates can be found on page 10 and Team News can be found on page 11. We have a new Palm Biologist, Dr. María José Sanín!
