Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good (Parajubaea Torallyi 9B). JxS into the old hole?

Featured Replies

After chugging along since 2018, one of my Torallyi kicked the bucket over the winter/spring this year in Northern California. A very unremarkable 9B winter - not very cold, some nice periods of rain, and everything else in the yard came through nicely, including two other Torallyi.  Marked the dried out/bleached out center spear two months ago and it hadn't moved a bit. Have always stressed about my Torallyi randomly dying a la DOOMSDAVE's massive Torallyi. Surprise, it died.

Had it removed today and wanted to ask the collective - Put down a JxS into the hole immediately? Or give it some time? No real signs of disease that I could see - tree guy didn't have any ideas either. He did say that whatever I planted there probably wouldn't grow all that well - being boxed in by the driveway/fence/old roots.

I'd plant the JxS immediately if you have one available. Perfect time of year to get one permanently established. Very hardy, trouble free cross, with an upright growth habit. I have 2 growing like weeds in Arizona. 🌴

Losing a palm is never fun , after watching them grow . It does leave a spot for a replacement though. Harry
