Transplanted Sabal Palmettos

Finally after years of wanting some relatively big Sabal’s, I got some.

3 of them.

Now I have to try to keep them alive until they establish roots.

I amended the soil (I’m in north Alabama - Zone 8, clay soil)

I’ve been watering everyday.

I asked the guy I got them from is they were regenerated or are those the same fronds that was dug up from the field, he said the same ones from the field.

I know I need to hurricane cut them but it’s hard because they look so good right now. lol

Is it ok to let water drip down the truck to help with moisture along with watering the root ball everyday?

    With this heat dome set up, I'd water a couple times a day and mist the leaves.

    Couple more pictures + some other cold hardy palms.

    Little Phoenix dactylifera that I grew from seed. (Bought a pack of dates from the store and planted it)

    Mexican fan palm that survived the winter with just some Christmas lights around it. Had some damage on the fronds but it’s pushing new spears good. Also starting to show some of the pretty trunk.

    Couple butia capitata‘s I bought from a recent beach trip down in Florida.

    Just water really well remembering they have little to no roots to support the fronds until they regrow
