PALM TREES

How do you plant palms in Texas?

Select the Perfect Spot: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, mimicking the natural habitat of native palms.

Prepare the Soil: Enrich the planting area with organic compost to boost soil quality and enhance drainage.

Plant with Care: Dig a hole twice the width of the palm’s root ball and just as deep. Place the palm in the hole, ensuring the base is level with the ground and backfill with soil.

Water Wisely: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture. Newly planted palms need steady watering to establish strong roots.

Mulch Thoughtfully: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Keep mulch away from the trunk to prevent rot.

Ongoing Care: Regularly check for pests and diseases. Prune dead fronds to promote healthy growth.
