I spent some time today trying to correct another "oops" in my planning. The Windmill palm tree seen in the photo above joined the party back in March of this year. And while it seemed to be doing fine at first, things took a downward turn recently.

I'm not sure what's up with it. But it clearly isn't happy where it is.

The tag on the tree described it as "Cold Hardy" and able to tolerate "Part Shade." But subsequent online research seems to cast some doubt on the latter. Most of what I read suggests full sun is a must for a palm tree. So in a last ditch effort to save it, I decided to relocate it to the sunny spot seen in the photo above.

Something else I found online suggests that palm trees like "well drained" soil. Georgia red clay appears to be the furthest thing from well drained. So I decided to dig a deep hole and fill the bottom of it with sand. Once again, I find myself asking the question, "I wonder if this will work."
