These gardens are slightly covered as you can see and also under shade cloth that you can't see but are subject to some of our strong afternoon thunder showers here in Florida with no ill effects.

So I just whacked the big one to save the two smaller trees and that worked because they aren't small anymore. I wonder how many times I can do that?
