Good ole Chinensis. They look small in the pics, but they aren’t that small. Maybe 10+ foot of trunk and double that to the tops. They were planted long before I ever lived here.

It's actually pushing out a new fronds 2 weeks after planting. 🤪

And even has some cool tolerance for growing in refrigerator zones!

I appreciate you posting previous rainfall totals for Phoenix and Tucson during the monsoon season. I feel like I've been severely deprived of a real monsoon season since I moved to the area in late 2021. There were some nice storms shortly after I arrived and in 2022 but I feel like we're due for a real big season...of course mother nature doesn't care what I think haha. I miss some of the rain and lightning from the east coast. I don't miss the cold weather, though.

Just keep up the water. Very good chance it will come back. Not much different than when people prepare for a hurricane, or when we get a freeze that completely defoliates. aztropic Mesa, Arizona

Really growing like a weed now that our temps are consistently above 100F. As mentioned above, a very vertical growth form. All the new branches are literally growing straight up off the trunk.🚀 aztropic Mesa, Arizona

I don't know if someone had previously shared this. An Internet horticulturalist went out to Anniston, AL and recorded a conversation with Hayes Jackson.

Hedyscepe canterburyana dropped an old frond and the freshly exposed crownshaft is looking great!

The calocasia looks great, but that wooly mammoth 🦣 leg, argh no wonder they went exstinct 🤣

Borassus flabellifer were looking good at sunup this morning...
