IMpressive the stuff that comes back under the shelter... The soil must not freeze in there??? The Sabals are really interesting to me, how many leaves will they push over the summer in your "hot" summer climate?

Good question....the Sabal are coming back from nothing.

I would guess 3 full leaves on average.

I think the cactus shelter soil temps stay around 38F-44F
close to the surface as it is mostly sand and rock that heats up fast.
