2 maple trees on street are dying
Comments (31)My first assumption looking at those leaves would be some sort of disease (whether viral, bacterial, or fungal).

Comments (13)Thanks Randy North of Florida palms has the best deals on Princeps I have seen,that's where I got the 3 I have -one is planted. Seeing them up close might leave you a little more torn between the two. That said,I love Waggies too! Here's the One I have planted- chadec I know exactly what you mean about Aloifolia! Mine snapped(in high winds)2 years ago or it would be 6' right now at least! They root easily so,no worries there-mine is secured to a small post now...probably would have been halved anyway when the "G-house collapsed in the blizzard last winter. Here's a picture(s) of the Cactus cover - Note how tall it is in respect to the railing- and check put what it looked like collapsed under 15"+ of snow!
