In coastal Georgia, the local landscape/garden supply stores sell (10′ to 20′) Cabbage Palms that have the trunks leaning on a rail with roots exposed and follage cut-off (except the center stem). Of course they all guarantee that the tree will start regrowing in about 6 to 12 month. Does this method for transplanting a native tree really work or is it another Palm Tree myth?

My palms are in sad shape after a rare freeze in Las Cruces, NM, worst in 100 years. They are young, only about 4 years old and 3.5 feet tall. The buds are dead in two of them yet they have new growth on the side, baby palms growing with new green froms. They are only about 8″. How do I remove them safely so I can re-plant them as I assume if the rest of the palm dies the new growth will soon follow

We just bought a cold hardy palm to plant near our pool, a trachycarpus fortunei. We are not sure how close to plant it to the pool. Can you tell us how far the roots will spread?

We live in Sarasota, Florida. Is there a better time of year for planting 6 foot palm trees? It is now May and I feel we have left it a bit late for this year. Thanks

I have a Bismarck palm which has not grown in the one year I have had it. Its in the ground, its just not growing. I have fertilzed twice using the 3 month release palm food. It even lived through 3 freezes we had here in Central FL last Winter.
Also if I think it got planted too deep can I dig it up and "fix" that problem?
Please help as I love these trees.
Thanks,
Gayle

Hi ! Susan Brian
I'm seeking for your information in how to remove offshoots from medjool date palm trees.
I have two medjool palm trees that have 2 ft. trunk height.Each of them has 2 or tree suckers around.Please instruct me how to cut them off either to get new young trees or just discard them.
Thank you for your help

Can you recommend a hardy, wind resistent, salt tolerent palm to be grown in (large) containers on an ocean-front deck (behind dune) in jacksonville, NC area?
