Hello, I recently had to have three 18+ year-old windmill palms transplanted from their original locations. Two seem to be doing fine so far, but one has fronds yellowing and browning at a very fast rate. It's definitely a lot faster than the natural slow yellowing and browning process they typically have. It had nothing but green fronds a few weeks ago and now has a bunch of yellow and brown. I'm not sure if it's stress, lack of nutrients, too much or too little watering, or something else but haven't found a definitive answer in my searches. I would love some advice to save this beauty. I'm just north of Atlanta, GA in Zone 7. Photos included. Thank you in a…

Transplanting a C. Humilis Cerifera

I was offered this pretty good sized Cerifera with the caveat that I have to remove it myself ASAP. This thing sailed through 15 degrees with zero damage so I'm all over it (it's also much more blue in person). So barring any rain I'll probably try to get this done tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Does anyone have any tips for transplanting a Chamaerops? This one seems to be almost entirely shade grown so I'm assuming I'd have to protect it from the sun until it starts to recover? A few threads I found on the topic seemed to just fade off without any resolution. Any help would be appreciated!

pheonix Transplanting a Volunteer
by yabazid- 6 replies

So about 7 years ago I was just walking around the house enjoying some dates I got from Abu Dhabi, UAE. Probably al khalas dates, but I am not sure because I got a few kinds. Anyhow this bad boy popped up and I never actually gave it any attention, as I never expected a date palm from such a very hot desert country to grow and make it here. Its right next to the garage door and it keeps scratching the cars, so its tied up now until the spring or early summer when I transplant it. Its growing on the west side of the house, so only gets sun in the afternoon.

Transplanting large trachycarpus fortunei

Just moved a large trachycarpus fortunei with 15ft trunk from a garden with heavy clay soil to our garden which has good rich soil for 2ft then sand. When we dug up the tree the root ball was not that big (we did not cut it in any way) so i am worried about its survival. So far i have dug out and re-planted within 48 hours, attached ropes to support it in any wind, watered very well straight after planting and added some palm specific mix to the water. I have heard it may be a good idea to remove leaves to prevent shock, how many should i leave on the tree? Thought it would need the leaves for energy? Also given the roots where only exposed for 48 hours will they die bac…

Transplanting Needle Palm?

Last April I planted a good sized 7 or 10 gallon needle palm. This spring I would like to move it to another location for purely aesthetic reasons. I hear palms in general do not like to be transplanted. What are the chances I could damage the plant by moving it. Are there any specific things I should do when transplanting? Thanks

Transplanting S. palmetto seedlings
by Manalto- 5 replies
- 615 views
These two seedlings appeared at the base of my Sabal palmetto. I realize that they're slow growers but I like the look of young sabals, especially when grown in a little shade, (and the price is right) so I'd like to move them. Two questions: Do they look to you like S. palmetto seedlings (and not another species delivered by birds)? What's the best method and timing for moving them?

Transplanting Saw Palmetto
by Joe NC- 3 replies

I have a silver saw palmetto that I planted in too much shade. It is surviving here in Z8a but not thriving. It is also getting swallowed up by the surrounding much more vigorous vegetation. I would like to move it to a location with much more sun. Do they transplant well?

Trapping Heat and Humidity with plastic

So I have my sabal enclosed with this fence but I was thinking because I have a plastic tarp, Would it be ok if I cover the fence with the plastic tarp and trap heat and humidity or would it cause any bad effects or bacteria on the palm or will it just be a greenhouse?

Trashy Spear Fully Pulled
by PalmTreeDude- 2 replies

Well... My Trachy spear pulled from the worst cold snap we have had here, the funny thing is my Butias, Mediterranean Fan Palm, and of course my Needle Palm are all thriving right now. I put most protection on the trachy and it is having the problem. The inner spear pulled but some fronds on the outside are green. Will it survive or is it likely dead?

Treating fungus with Lysol
by glasalle- 2 replies
- 197 views
I covered my Washingtonia robustas with garbage cans to protect them from a 14F cold snap. I was out of town and left them in place too long. The leaves and spears have fungal growth on them. The spears looks partially dead, but has about 3 inches of green coming out of trunk. The dead part has fungus on it. I was worried about the fungus descending down the spears, so sprayed them with Lysol. Now I'm wondering if that was advisable.

My palms have become too large or too thorny to wrap the spear leaf before a bad weather event. I'm going to use a hairdryer where the spear emerges after the precipitation stops but would pouring something in the spear be beneficial? Hydrogen peroxide? Daconil? Other?

Treatment and Recovery

I wanted to start a post on the treatments and recoveries of everyone’s various palms that took a hit in December. I had 3 spear pulls, and know others did too. Who’s palms pulled? How was it/they treated (specifics)? and follow ups appreciated going forward. Myself had a Butiagrus, and 2 of Frank Lewis Super mules. TREATMENT: treated with 3% peroxide, allowed that to set in for an hour or two then wicked out the water with paper towel. Followed by copper fungicide, filled the open spear holes and let sit 2 hrs. Then again wicked out the moisture. Been repeating this every 2-3 days. Happy to report that the Butiagrus is already pushing new green spear. After only 2 weeks!…

Tree Ferns
by Rothbardian1- 19 replies
- 5.7k views
I know this is a palm forum, but I was hoping I could hear some of your experiences with tree ferns; specifically in zone 8b-9a. I've read a lot of mixed reviews from people that have grown them in my hardiness zone. I think it gets almost too hot for them here. Most people, I understand, grow them in the shade down here. But then I've read where some a little further south from my area grow them in full sun. Some people claim they retain their fronds during brief freezing temperatures, and others say it can't get below freezing or they will lose their fronds. I know they will survive, but how well will they grow with temperatures will into the high 90'…

My Trithrinax Campestris is suckering & creating a triple. This happened before & i just hacked it off but now I'm wondering whether to keep it? Its growing out in a weird area away from the other 2. Should I leave it be for a bit or chop it off? Does anyone have examples of theirs doing this & how it eventually will look? Please post pictures of yours & how you decided to let it grow.

Tropical Garden planning

I'm going to start a tropical garden with some landscaping, problem is, my backyard is too cramped with a pergola, garden, possible pool, and there is just not enough room. So I'm planning to do a small section as a tropical garden that is not too large but not too small, so it will also be easy to protect. I'm also planning to landscape the front yard and sprinkle on some tropical plants. So I'm mostly going to do the front yard this year. I already have most plants picked out for this, including mums, african marigolds, Elephant ear "Thai Giant" , Mexican fan palm or windmill palm, hydrangea, bird of paradise white & orange, canna lillies, and musa basjoo. Happy ne…
