They're doing very well.
Hope to see pics of you expanding your plantings, so we northerners can dream along!
And you'll have to fill your house with palms too, like the rest of us! 😆

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Did you leave the Brugmansia in the ground? Mine (bought in May and put in the ground; did great) had major leaf damage from the first light frost so I dug it up and brought it in. Do you grow yours as a perennial?

Yes, we have left them in the ground, cut the stalks, cover the base with leaves and pot the cuttings. One year we produced 50 or more plants from them. There is a large pecan tree on the east side of our front yard. Its been shading more and more of my beds. Less sun, less growth, this year we didn't get blooms until late and lost dozens of flowers in an early frost. We also did Datura, they grew like weeds, wait they are weeds! Still trying to get rid of those.

Welcome Jim,
I'm a little late. That's a great mature needle clump you have there, it must have been
there for many to be that size.

Bill,
Those clumps started as two 2 gallon needle palms each. They do great here. There is an old plant here in town that has trunked.
