Great photos , I have only one and I had no idea how big the trunk gets when I planted it . I realized I could’ve picked a better spot it is about 6’ away from our gate . Yours look like they are happy with some shade and must be getting much needed watering. It looks like they benefit from some shade. You have quite the canopy . Harry

They do get big and there’s quite a large canopy which makes all the difference they get a little water from irrigation but mostly rainwater.
