T. princeps recovery

I thought this one was a goner after last summer where we hit a high of 117F.  I almost dug it up and moved it to the shade but now I'm glad I didn't.  Fully recovered and acclimated to this spot now.

I'm telling you they like the heat and sun and can handle dry.  My biggest which is in the hottest spot in my yard spear pulled in late spring and was pushing a new spear with a week or so.  It handled that 115F like nothing happened.  The other which wasn't in such a hot spot spear pulled too but has taken close to two months to recover.

Mine got totally fried that week we hit 117F.  Both of them were extra crispy and I had watered the heck out of them.  Tanner was over here a while back and saw how bad they looked.  It was heartbreaking.

Mine were in ground for at least a year before that heat so were established. You’d be surprised how long a root they can throw. 
 

I just wish these things would hurry up and grow. It’s so painful.  I think its best to buy a bigger one, or go with Princeps hybrids in our climate.  

 

 Pictures from today. They were more blue but these old fronds have yellowed a bit from all the rain.

I agree.  I have a two year old princeps x fortunei that is really fast and looks great!
