Unfortunately I had to dig one out and I hope it wasn't a death sentence.  Been in ground for only a year so hope not too much root damage didn't seem like rootball was large yet.

Any idea what sun tolerance these have when they "emerge". I have a good spot for them on the north side of my house, but if they grow long enough for me and decide to emerge over my roofline, I'm afraid I'd probably lose them to sunburn. My kings are in that stage at the moment - peeking over my roofline and burning up.

Josue….ive seen plenty of these in Orange County well over canopy, completely unprotected including the famous Bob Burtcher plant. I think they are iffy when young but clearly can adapt.

I would add the color seems particularly humidity related. Somewhere on here I posted a smaller macrocarpa that took a week or so to fully open. In that time, it went from a healthy SantaAna dry event to monsoonal drizzle.. Leaf was green at end and red at freshest opening.

Is it still amongst the living?

Yes... and no..lol No, because I  just now realized I think I  was referring to a magnifica, not a pyriformis.

But the magnifica is alive and well  currently!!

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
