Both of these large trees were blooming and growing happily in Banker's Hill which is located just east of downtown San Diego, CA. Photo taken August 7, 2011.

Palmate:
I have a feeling it would be very difficult to keep it from getting many fungal diseases, there. The Mexican Blue palm is hardy, however, it's native to the deserts of Baja California (where it's almost always dry). It really despises wet, cold conditions (it doesn't even like warm wet conditions).
