Planting a palm tree: mistakes to avoid
A successful planting avoids many problems in the following months. Here are the most common mistakes seen when planting a decorative palm tree.
Common mistakes
- Planting too deep, which can rot the base of the trunk
- Neglecting watering in the first weeks, a critical period for rooting
- Choosing a spot too close to a building or pipework
- Ignoring the nature of the soil (too clayey or too compact without amendment)
- Planting during strong winds without temporary staking
How to secure the palm tree's rooting
A planting hole about twice as wide as the root ball, loosened, well-drained soil, and generous watering right after planting help avoid most rooting problems.
