Sabal causiarum in trouble


_Keith

Recommended Posts

My Sabal causiarum is in trouble. Two newest fronds have died, but it is pushing a new one with some green. Heat has been brutal and we have missed all of the recent rains, so maybe it dried out for a bit. Just not sure at this time what to do other than water it, which I did yesterday.

OK, treated with H2O2 3 days ago.  Today, newest spear pulled, so I treated again.   I have never been able to save one with H2O2 before.   How often do I do this?   Any other advice, I really really want to save this palm.

Me too, Kris.  I have 2 special friends associated with it, both Moose and Ken.   I would hate to lose it.

I have a potted causiarum spear pulled recently. I am pretty sure that the cause had been overhead irrigation by the sprinkler inside the cold frame. I put it on the dry side and with a couple of months a doinker appeared. Soil however is very loose which enables the emerging of another growing point. I doubt however if this is possible in the ground if soil consists of clay, how much well structured it may be.

I had a similar experience in 2011, a small causiarum(5g) that I bought in california had a spear pull and died in early summer.  Lookinng back, it was getting hit with both my and my neighbors automated sprinkler and we are required to be on different days 2 days a week.  Perhaps it also had adapted to CA and hated florida.  But today I have a good sized causiarum, just in an area where the sprinklers dont hit.

Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??
