I have a northeast facing corner of my backyard that has a 6 foot fence on the east and north side. There is a lattice arbor to the south which shades the area in the afternoon. I have tried to grow two queen palm trees there and they do not seem to want to grow. One died, the other is still as tall as when I planted it...about 2-3 feet. I live in Clairemont suburb of San Diego, ground is hard clay except for planting area where I used potting mix and top soil with some sand. Area is under the sun from 11AM to about 4PM. What can I grow there of a desert type low maintenance plant? |
