I actually was wondering if it is getting too much heat. I have a lot of canopy in my yard due to taller trees, but this location gets blasted pretty good middle of the day. Obviously in my part of the country it is very frequently over 85 degrees. Since basjoo is supposedly cold hardy, I have wondered if like some palm trees (such as Rhopalostylis) it also resents too much heat. I.e. it prefers an overall mild climate, not the extremes of heat and cold one finds in california desert.
