Ysa, I have an other question please. Whe you put it round the palm tree what exactly did you do? was it bare root did you add anything etc etc? also is it shaded by the leaves etc? How much sunlight etc full sun,i ask as I just bought myself and my mother one (she lives in Kenya - so similar conditions to yours ) & i think she can grow best like yours- mines in the house in S/h...
thanks in advance for any input you can give me
