How Dead is Dead? Windmill Update.....

In a posting several months ago, I detailed the saga of a young windmill palm in my collection that didn’t fare well through its first unprotected winter. Its entire central spear pulled out.

So now it’s June, the leaves are still green, yet nothing is happening in the central growth section of the plant. Everything else in my yard is growing like gangbusters, except that one palm that seems to be in a time warp. Unless I see some new growth in the next few weeks (highly unlikely) I plan on declaring the poor guy officially dead and vacating him from the premises.
