Thanks, Rhapsody! I saw a lot on conflicting info on the web and figured I should just ask people who grow them. I think the Brugs are fine in the rainy season since we have such sandy soil. Everything drains right through. My biggest concern was just the intensity of the sun. Since I got the plant for "free", I might just try it and see what happens. Gardening is kind of like a big science experiment to me. Some things work, some things don't. Luckily, I've learned from quite a few of my mistakes. Oh, and I also want to clarify that I am not responsible for killing the Canary Island Date Palm I mentioned. I suspect my brother; he hated it.
