Here's some pictures...

First one is a big shot of the clump of plantings in the corner. On my side of the fence, theres a Loquat on the left, the puff in the middle, and something I don't know the name of to the left.

Second is a closer up shot of the puffball

Third is the thing I don't know the name of

Fourth is the bromeliad patch right behind the puffball.

On the other side of the fence behind the loquat in the neighbor's yard, there's some jasmine vine invading my yard, and another big tree thing I can't ID

Since it doesn't look totally dead, I might just keep my fingers crossed - but if there's a chance some fertilizer would help I'd like to do that. I forgot to mention that my house is fairly close to a canal, that tree patch is probably only 50-100 yards away from the canal with nothing between the patch and the canal. So since it's so big, maybe it's been able to survive on what groundwater it can reach?
