Newly Planted Sylvester Palms

[Ktk]

We recently planted Sylvester Palms in our yard. They were bundled for three weeks and we finally unwrapped them today. Two are standing tall and strong while other seems weepy and more yellow. The palm of concern also looked very weepy when bundled while other two always stood tall in the ropes. Is there cause for concern? Any suggestions of what to do to make this one look healthier? First image is the one I’m concerned about compared to second image of one that looks stronger and healthier.

I don’t see anything wrong with that one in the picture honestly but you can always look at the newest frond at the top of the tree in the center and if it is still green and firm then that is the easiest indicator that it is healthy.

The color looks good. Phoenix palms have a lot of variability and they interbreed easily. It may just be that one of your palms is a little more weeping in form than the others.
