Hi, 

Separating (partially) some big box Chinese fan palms and planting them as die back in zone 7a.  Some are about 2 feet tall to frond tip, and others have petioles that are 4 feet with pretty big fans.  Should I expect the smaller plants to never really get any bigger than they are (kind of like hostas)?  Should I expect the big ones not to regain their petiole height but continue to produce large fans?  (Just thinking of where to locate them)  I assume there is no special care for these things.  Just lots of water (especially since its July!) and slow release palm fertilizer?  Then after the really cold weather starts cut them to the ground and cover with leaves until spring?

Thanks

Mate, I really don't understand your question, and I have no idea about your weather,

but  "cut them to the ground and cover with leaves until spring?"  does not sound right for palms.

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.
