It’s really sad to see these old bottle palms look so drought-striken! 😞. The ground is like concrete! There used to be so many lush species of palms in this area, when it was watered and fertilized. Now, only the most drought tolerant palms survive. Photo taken November 30, 2024.

Yes, the soil is literally like concrete and we haven’t had any rain this season.
This area in front of this big industrial building used to have royal palms, Kentia palms, Licuala spinosa, Caryota mitis (Fishtail palm). One of the bottle palms died about 10 years ago. Now, only Dypsis decari (Triangle palm); Sabal species and Wodyetia (Foxtail palm) along with Mexican fan palms grow there.

They definitely look like they're struggling.
