I plant everything in big pots and put automatic drip water on it. If it dies I replace it with something else. Eventually I find something that thrives in that spot LOL The Queen Palms are nice and grow well here but they require a lot of trimming to look nice. I want to try a King palm. They are supposed to be "self trimming", the dead branches fall off by themselves. You still have to pick them up but no ladder required. The Canary Island Palms and Mexican Fans both grow well here but have a terrible shade to maintenance ratio. All maintenance and no shade! And the Canary Island give little dried up dates. For the mess involved I'd rather have a Madjool Date
