Hello, I got a new palm back last year in August and planted on the ground, it survived the cold temperatures here in Dallas Texas, and here we are almost a year later and not doing too well.

what can I do to help this plant survive, I been feeding it with jobes organic palm fertilizer.

Planting in August is not always ideal, so it took bit of a beating. over the winter.  I've had this happen too.  As long as the new spears are nice and green it should be just fine.  My advice is make sure it's adequately watered this summer and don't kill it with kindness, and it should start looking better at the end of the year.  It may take two years for it start looking really good, so a little patience is required.

Our Texas sun really does a number on Trachycarpus and many here look like that if they get exposed to late afternoon sun and don't get enough water.  Happened to me several years ago with a larger one and I lost it.  The big box stores label them as drought tolerant but here they need extra water to look decent.  The best looking ones I've seen here are planted in at least partial shade.

Same here, they look like crap here in full sun. Mine that are out front in pots (South facing) will be moving to the back of the house here shortly. They're not desert palms. Sabals are considered drought tolerant as well, and they are, they just stop growing. Sabals grow much quicker with good full drinks.
