I'll give it a shot and increase the water. Thanks for the tip; I feel a little more optimistic now. Fingers crossed, these palms are so beautiful when they are full and healthy.

Are there other foxtails growing in your region?

I've seen young foxtails, but have never seen a mature one here. Most of them look like they are struggling as well. I probably should have stuck with a variety that is known to do well here.

What kind of low temps did it see? By now,I admit it should have tossed out a few fronds since November. They can survive below freezing..but sometimes they just fade away in marginal climates.

I see Laredo is about the warmest 9a climate I've ever heard of. I mean,your coldest months high average is about 70f and goes on to tropical temps most of the year. More than warm enough for Foxtails IF, you never get a hard continental freeze as in past years.

I think,if it fails try again in spring.
