Finally get it done, My Howea belmoreana is in her new home now!  

Before , the site:

Deciding to get it directly to ground without using the raising bed...( Thanks to @Tassie_Troy1971, @Pal Meir, @gtsteve. @Tracy @Palms4Steve ) 

Digging the hole and amend the soil with existing soil and compost, measuring the right level..

 ripped the bag , I noticed some sort of Cloths covering one side of the bag and roots entangled with it...I remove it with difficulty ( or at least most part of it) , I dont know what was it? anyone knows?

 

fill with the mix existing soil + compost :

place some stones for its edging...

 

Cover two thick layer of organic mulch and pine bark mulch :

me, for scale and future references  

This was the biggest palm I planted in garden so far ...so wish me luck...Pleas let me have any advise about watering, neutralizer...etc...

BTW, it is getting morning sun and some filtered sun afternoon...

Oh, and when I should expect fruiting ...I might be able to send seeds to others finally ( and not only receiving them ) 

Hi

Great job and fine illustration. Its indeed mission Accomplished. 

And do keep us updated. And the cloth like material that was wrapped around the root ball appears like agro burlap. That is very common in usa.

That material decomposes as roots grow big.you need not have to cut or remove it.

Love,

Kris. 

Great job Mohsen. Looks great. It is a great size. Must be quite a few years old. I think that the material around the roots is used when they have grown them in the ground to make it easy to remove them and pot them up for sale. It will love it in this position. I found mine did get burnt in full sun on those extreme hot summer days. But I think your position sounds perfect.

Looking great! And she’s a beauty!

Thanks Kris for the information, some part of the cloth is buried  with the roots, so I wont be worry about it as it will be decomposed  in time

Yes, I have heard that Howea belmoreana dont like full sun in hot days even more than  Howea forsteriana so that'ts why I chose that location...yes I guess it should be around 20 years old?? BTW, when they will bear fruits and seeds

Thanks Pal, wish me luck  

Job well done. In 30 to 50 years it will look something like this one growing in the Repatriation Hospital grounds in Adelaide

I think that you're have seed 3 years after the first time it flowers.

Does that one have fruits?

No idea. That hospital is soon to be closed down and most likely bulldozed.  I don't know what will become of the hospital gardens. The Howea belmoreana at the Waite Arboretum fruits is much shorter and easier to get to, but it is watched eagerly by other palm enthusiasts. The last time I was there I noticed that the fruit had been stripped from the tree.

Mine in Carlsbad has produced inflorescence and has less trunk than Mohsen's.  Unfortunately, I'm not there to collect it (its a rental) before my gardener has hacked it off.  He does some things well, but I have a problem with him being overly aggressive with removing palm fronds that show any sign of browning and always cutting the inflorescence off the palms I want to fruit.  He doesn't seem to care much when the Phoenix species I have fruit, but then again they are little less friendly to get in and trim.

that is good news, so I might see inflorescence sooner than I thought...

thats is a common practice and habit of general gardener to remove all leaves and branches with shown the smallest yellow ...

i am having difficulty here to explain this to my wife and my in laws that palms are different from other trees( flower/ fruits) and they don't like heavy or any trimming ...

Another palm rescue mission for you? :)

Wouldn't that be awesome. Unfortunately I don't have the right equipment to get that palm out of that court yard and I wouldn't know who to ask for the opportunity to save it. The original hospital building and gardens would be heritage listed there is a good chance that area will stay the same.
