I have this wonderful Trio of sabals that we planted last November.  They seemed to be popping well but this spring they seem to have stopped. I am afraid we have over watered them. Will they recover? I live in coastal mississippi and have really high humidity and water all around.  We put sand in the soil when we planted them. They have soft spots on the trunks.  The trunks were getting black but that seemed to get lighter with no water. I am not watering them unless it rains.  We are getting coastal showers in the afternoons now and I'm so worried they have root rot. Any help would be appreciated. The last picture is the ones we planted in July.  They are doing great.

Guessing --- being a triple probably puts a lot more stress on transplanting because all roots are competing down there close together to grow.  Hope it makes it.  Soft spots don't sound great

OP, that trio of Sabals is already very close to the power lines (unless that is just an optical illusion from the camera angle) what is your plan in a few years when the crowns are pushing on your power lines?
