Thank you all for the information. I shall be sure to water them well during the dry spells, as I have noticed that the tend to drop leaves when the soil gets dry.

I am enclosing another picture of the front of the house, where the soil is apparently very well suited for these palms. They were planted at six feet high in November 1998; you can see that they are still growing up and sending up little ones around the side of the clump. So far, only two plants have developed flowers, and only one has produced seeds. I do not know if it would be easy to raise them from seeds. We were warned to not tro try to separate off a little plant from the side, as this might kill the main plant.
