I am North West of Dallas approx 70 miles. I planted 3 and 2 have died. They didn't take the summer heat well at all. Seems like they would prefer partial shade. This last one should have pretty good root growth so we'll see how well it does this year.

I appreciate your input. I lived in Texas Killeen area and I remember those summers! But the dry heat was much more tolerable than this humid stuff. I will keep in mind to give it some shade if I get one. Thanks
