RE: foxtail palms (Follow-Up #3)
posted by: AZamigo on 07.02.2005 at 12:27 am in Arizona Gardening Forum Lee, you are correct-not many people think Royal palms will grow in hot deserts but they will, and often look great. I've seen a few out in Palm Springs and Indio and that's a lot hotter and drier than Phoenix. And honestly, yes if you are in an area that doesn't freeze they look a lot better than Queens. Oddly enough there is even a couple growing at the Royal Palms Hotel on Camelback that although are small look very, very good. For anyone that loves tropical plants the Royal Palms is a great place to check out. They have lots of little courtyards and patios that include many rare tropical plants that more people should try.

RE: Cape Honeysuckle (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: marymcp on 06.24.2006 at 11:44 am in Arizona Gardening Forum Jay, In addition to lazygarden's good advice, you might also give it a dose of chelated iron to help green up the leaves. I like to use a cocktail of 5-gallons of water with a few drops of SuperThrive and 2 or 3 tablespoons of chelated iron when plant leaves begin to yellow. The iron takes about 3 weeks to work its magic. HTH.

RE: Cape Honeysuckle (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: lazygardens on 06.24.2006 at 10:53 am in Arizona Gardening Forum I water 3-4 times weekly for 20 minutes (about 5 gallons per watering).
Too little water, too often. Give it a DEEP soaking and then don't water for a week, soak it again. NOTES: <none>
