    Indeed they are deciduous in my climate. They hold on for as long as they can, once they start dropping that is when I know the weather has definitely changed into winter. They hold on next sign I get in my garden is the clivias flowering once I see that happening winter is definitely over, two great signals I look for. It’s been a fairly mild winter this year a good sign in a way for palm growers. But a definite sign that we should taking notice of for the planet, is climate change real they say, well I guess time will tell!

    The same here. I have one Plumeria by the kitchen window , next to a large Chamaedorea that keeps some of its leaves year ‘round. The rest defoliate . The climate is definitely warmer here than when I was young . I think most scientists agree that it is cause for alarm. The palms are luvin it though. When I was in biology class in the late 1960’s we were taught that the planet’s mean temperature was critical to life . If it were to change by more than a degree or so , it could threw off the balance of life. Here we are! It’s not knowledge we lack , it’s humility. ( stolen words from Don Henley song ) . Grow more palms , cool your garden . That works at my house! Harry
