To date, I have been careful to plant only reclinata or roebelenii hybrids in my garden (as far as Phoenix goes) so as to stave off LB until I understand the pattern of spread better, or until the inevitable happens.  Palms die anyway - cold, fires, hurricanes, ganoderma, drought, whatever - i’ll give it a go.

I have an opportunity to buy a pure theophrasti.  Other than loureiroi, this would be the only pure Phoenix in my garden.  Does anyone have any data on theophrasti and LB, or they’re just not cultivated broadly enough to know?

Inland palms (Randy) has one growing in Beaumont, CA.  Although it's a viciously spiny palm, as it's gotten overhead, it is quite pretty and less "heavy" looking than canariensis.  Tough as nails; extreme heat, cold to the point of snow are no problem. I'll see if I can dig up a pic...

Sorry, didn't see the question about potential lethal bronzing. Didn't know it was a thing in Texas. It hasn't been an issue in SoCal...yet. It's from leaf hoppers, right?
