Fresno california here. I love these palms but never see any in this aria so I've been hesitant on planting them. Your palm proves they do well in this aria and I will be getting some soon. Thankyou for the video

Jeff, is there 1 key in keeping your palms healthy in our valley? Like, how do you keep the king palm from burning in the summer sun? Do you just make sure it is heavily watered prior and during he hottest months? Or is there more to it? Please don’t be modest. 😉

I am getting about 5 fronds per year from my seedlings (still in pots) over the summer, and no growth over the winter months. Is this what you see or should I change things up? Thanks!
