Hopefully it lives. I know what you mean though--the same thing happens to me. I just planted 3 palms 8 months ago and only 1 survied..darn things!! I need to start saving my Home Depot receipts. I found the Syso/Cisso(sp?) trees are great for shade and grow like crazy--the more you water the quicker they grow but are very heat tolerant. I have 2 in my yard now and love them. Well so far, they are still babies but growing quickly.



If you notice in that picture I did 2 patio umbrellas--it just get so darn hot mid summer (dry heat of 117)...I feel so bad. I'm able to maintain the temps with patio umbrellas and sprinkler systems during the summer time. Now I only have 1 umbrella up, I took the rest down so the sun can shine shine shine!! Before it gets too cold.
