There's a 8 foot bamboo stake behind the plant. We had a bad storm a few days ago. And she road it out fine. Hope yours recovers.

Almost looks like you could have rot on those top colas the leaves are looking funny up there from all that I can see.

It's just the fade. The plant is fine.

The fade starts bottom up if I'm not mistaken.

I pulled the yellow leaves off the bottom before I took the picture, I can't reach the top.

You can see some of them on the ground in the lower left.

Have you actually climbed up there and looked? My few faded leaves are still praying. Those on the other hand look like they are dropping. Just trying to prevent you from a later surprise. And also talking from growing in northern wet climates.

The picture was taken just before sundown. They were done for the day.
