Compare this photo to the second one up there, taken 3 years earlier, to get an idea of growth rate. These trees have a leaf spread of over 30'! Southern California, Huntington Gardens

When these first were planted about 15' to 20' apart years ago I thought they were planted well enough apart... not nearly so.. .but at least now below them is plenty of room

dissapointed to see cold damage on these- wasn't THAT cold at the Huntington- even Howeas hardly affected.

well, so much for potentially growing up to 100' in California. These are among the healthiest I have seen (HUntington Gardens) and flowering at about 40' or less
