Always amazed they can even regrow that rootball!

Been going  to Chandler regional multiple times a month since August for multiple relatives heart issues.  Small world! 

Looks just like New Mexico dirt!

While not my favorite palm, I appreciate them the taller they get.  

Cool photo shoot!

While it would be nice to see something less common being planted,  it is fun to watch tall specimens -of any kind- getting installed, especially during morning traffic in a place where people don't often pay much attention to their surroundings ( people pulling into /out of the medical offices across from us get honked at by impatient drivers approaching from the light at the corner to the right of the offices quite often, for example. )

I'm thinking this specimen is probably from a farm somewhere west of here since the dirt on this side of town tends to be darker.. Could be wrong of course..

Not to pry, ( cuz' its really none of my business )  just curious if your relatives going through Dignity for treatment?  Can't say how true it is, but I've heard they're supposed to offer some of the more advanced care for cardiac-related issues in the area..

Lol ..I'll let you know if it does ( since i'll hear the results of higher wind vs. this bracing job down pretty easily, ...if the wind wins.. )

Both relatives now at home.  6 strokes and 3 heart attacks later, so yeah....

That Chandler/Gilbert area was mostly all farms in the early 80's.  Good soil!
