Hi Mike,
Yes,the plant is out in the wind. We were actually thinking that had a lot to do with it,but I just wanted to ask the pros about it. The Island Look...I like that.
As for the spots...we can rule out cold tap water on the leaves,as I am careful not to get any on them.
The sun scorching sounds like the best answer as I have never seen an insect around the plant at any time.

I will cut back on the water some...I usually water every couple of days and let the hose run on it at a constant drip for about an hour or two.
I guess I should start figuring out what I am going to plant for a wind break to save the leaves from getting ripped up(that's where the water dripping is coming from as well...the rips and tears.) and maybe something to shade it with as well to help the brown spots?

Thanks for the help Mike now I know that the things I described can be easily remedied.
