So I'm going to get a coconut palm dawrf variety. It's got around 3ft of trunk and should be producing coconuts they are field grown and I will have one transfered from homestead to lakewales central Florida quite a long drive. Any tips to reduce transplant shock and help recover the root system? This will be happening in June

    Consistent watering after planting and maybe some liquid kelp or something to help root growth or something but mainly water! B)

    Once planted.  Mulch Mulch and more Mulch.   Fertilome root stimulator and plenty of water.  

    Cover the fronds with a heavy blanket or tarp. You do not want them to be wind burnt at all or dried out because of exposure during the transfer. It will do fine with root damage but when you add root damage and lots of leaf damage that’s how you get a quickly declining palm after transfer.

      I have transported medium sized palms in the bed of a pickup  , over 100+ miles .

    I go to a Thrift store , and buy several sheets . Then " bunch up " the fronds , wrap the sheets around them , and use masking tape , wound around 

    to hold it all together .  Then lay the palm down horizontally , secure it with some small objects that weigh enough to control any flapping .
