Do these require watering each day, or are their roots deep enough to find moisture ?

Terratoonie,

This tree species is native to the tropical rain forest of Northeastern Queensland, Australia. Actually, where Marguerite lives. They do require a lot of water to look good. The water table where these trees are planted is probably pretty high...San Diego Bay is on the other side of this building on the right. There's also sprinkler systems in all or most plants around San Diego...or very little plants or trees would grow.

Marguerite,

Thanks...these are pretty young trees...this is a common size that is planted in the landscape here. Of course, they grow very large tall eventually.
