If it was a true date it would have lived.  I don't think Sylvester's will make it.

By true date do you mean dactylifera?  It has outlasted all the CIDP.

They put the chainsaw to this one since last week. It would have been worth waiting a bit longer in my opinion, so yeah, its had it's date. Let this thread be its memorial. Kinda sad. It was a trooper.

I never got a pic of it in a year it was nice and flushed out. It grew at a nursery here that has since gone out of business, and I guess they moved it to the beach after that. Possibly I have a picture somewhere in an old phone. (I will have to look) It had a much more sheltered micro climate at the nursery, and a hard knock life at the beach. Poor little bugger.
