Brahea Armata - Best way to plant this ?

Just got this big boy Brahea Armata delivered this morning. Its breaking out of the container and ready to go in the ground this week. If you see closely it has another smaller trunk growing at its base. Should this be removed during planting or just plant the entire thing in a larger wider hole ?

There is also a bunch of big snails at the bottom of the container where its busted open, should i be worried or just remove them by hand ?

I have a lot of hybrids and nice palms going in this week, will be taking photos and posting soon.

Be very gentle when planting this . They can be root sensitive but tough palms once established. I would get rid of the snails, yes! The best thing for Brahea or any large palm is to cut the container and gently lower the palm ( minus the pot) into its new home . Of course it will want some water and a bit of garden soil around it . I wouldn’t worry about feeding it just yet . I have never fed either of my Brahea here in Southrrn California. Congratulations , that’s a beauty . I would keep the little one until the palm shows that it has adapted , and then make up your mind whether you like it as a duo. Harry
