Yeah, we had 105 heat index here yesterday. It gets SO hot if it doesn't cloud over in the afternoons but luckily that is a pretty rare occurrence. The Gulf surface water temp is 90deg. right now too so even the sea breeze is soupy-warm.
I'd prefer rooted cuttings if you have them. Let's keep an eye out for a weather 'window' when there are some clouds returning. Maybe there will be a tropical storm to cool us off at this end . . .
