Dwarf Palms Replanting

Recommended Posts

I am new to tropical plants and Florida (actually Northern Florida). About 1/8 of our 1 acre yard is covered in Dwarf Palms. I would like to dig some up and replant them near the front of our property as a border. How far apart should I plant them? Also, should I put a fertilizer in the dirt to maybe help them along? We live in Northern Michigan and people use “Dairy Doo” for everything fertilizer.

Welcome!

Probably want to add a pic of the palms for identification because different varieties have very different transplant success and what you may think are "dwarf" may actually be just small plants of a slow growing type of palm.

Probably sabal minors… quite difficult to transplant unless quite small (strap leaf size) .

I’m back in Michigan now. Will be back in Florida Memorial Day weekend. I will take some pictures, but I looked up sabal minor, and they look a lot like those. Thanks for the info.
