Any water would help but access to the tree is blocked by construction fencing...  Windows have been removed from the building only covered by plywood.It hasn't rained here in months but I would expect a storm within 2 or 3 weeks that hopefully will save it.

Here's hoping you get that rain!

Ah, that explains why I could not find it when taking a detour on my way back from the demo garden at the Library up there a few weeks ago.:(

Oh no! I just saw that one last summer and it was doing great! Someone please tell me the one at the capitol building downtown is still alive? I haven't checked on it in a couple of years. How are yours doing, aztropic?  

Over the years,I've noticed most of my palms will tolerateup to 113F with little to no damage.Higher temps cause things to go down hill quickly.Even with plenty of water,this shot is typical damage for many of the plants so far this summer.Last summer outright killed two 20 ft tall Carpentaria.

I was in the area of the State Capitol building today so I thought I would stop in at the palm garden and check out the Royal there. I'm pleased to report it's alive and appears to be very healthy!  So I'm thinking the CIDP shading the trunk from western sun is what is saving this magnificent specimen?

Did a fly by check on the Royal by the mall Tuesday.

While looking beat to ..hocky sticks.. it seems to be holding its own. Looks like the rain we got 2 weeks ago helped a little. Appears as though they're working on the building itself so maybe it will survive the transition to whatever opens there next.

Another day, another look..

Sadly, this Royal specimen is no more. Looks like the soon to occupy tenant had it removed. :wacko:

Couple a 5 gallon buckets should help.  No?

Definitely !

I do my share of bucket rescue around town 

Get a 5 gallon gasoline can (new ones are plastic) and use it for watering 

Two of these three times a week will keep it alive !

The tree was physically cut down and removed 5 years ago...

The tree at the state capitol has also been removed. Landscapers unfamiliar with crown shafted palms kept over trimming it and eventually killed it.
