Here are two pics of my needle palms,some of you may remember the spears pulled even before I planted them but they are looking good so far and the bottom shoots are possibly growing a little at least they appear to be.So,heres what I think is really cool!if you look closely at the two pics the side shoots have actually moved to sheild the growth shoots from rain,now I know this for the simple reason that I was looking to see if I could move them over the spears to keep rain out and I could not get them to stay so I gave up and then I saw after the next rain we got that the plant had done this itself!pretty cool,I have seen them in different places up or down or to the side but anytime it rains they are always over the damaged growth spears.I would would not think it was such a big deal if only one plant had done this but thought it was very interesting that both did it!Maybe needle palms are so hardy because they are the smartest! Her are the pics and a current pic of frontyard
