Probably laid them down for the trip.

I was thinking the same thing....almost need to lay them down in back(pots to the cab)and chop the tops
or you could never reach highway speeds!

Attaboy, Mario, well done!

Settle that baby in with enough water...a good soaking around the roots (as long as you've got good drainage).
The fronds took a bit of a beating on the ride home.

So excited for you....
