I will be working on making a newer video as soon as I can and will continue to work on improving this one. Below is detail description of how to plant a windmill palm. I would love any comment or suggestions. HOW TO PLANT A WINDMILL PALM: KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER: WINDMILL PALMS LIKE WELL DRAINING SOIL CONDITIONS WINDMILL PALMS DO NOT LIKE A LOT OF WATER DO NOT PUT THEM ON A SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO MUCH WATER WILL KILL THE TREE APPLY A SLOW RELEASE FERTILIZER ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER PLANTING SPACE WINDMILLS ABOUT 8 FT APART BEFORE DIGGING YOUR HOLE REMOVE THE WIRE AND BURLAP FROM THE TREE. THEN MEASURE THE WIDTH OF THE ROOT BALL… YOU WILL DIG YOUR HOLE SO IT LEAVES A GAP OF ABOUT 6 TO 8 INCHES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BALL OF YOUR TREE. THEN MEASURE THE HEIGHT OF THE ROOT BALL. THIS WILL HELP YOU MEASURE HOW DEEP YOUR HOLE NEEDS TO BE… YOU ARE GOING TO PLANT THE TREE LEVEL OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER THEN GROUND. YOU DON’T WANT TO PLANT THE TREE SHALLOW THEN THE GROUND . I LIKE TO TAKE THE HEIGHT OF THE ROOT BALL AND ADD ANOTHER 4 INCHES TO THAT NUMBER BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 2 INCHES OF SAND TO BOTTOM OF HOLE AND THEN ANOTHER 2 INCHES OF A SAND AND POTTING SOIL MIXED TOGETHER. I LIKE TO DO THIS FOR DRAINAGE.. IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE POOR DRAINING SOIL YOU ADD TWO INCHES OF PEBBLES FIRST..FOLLOWED BY SAND AND THEN THE SAND /SOIL MIX. IF THIS IS THE CASE YOU NEED TO DIG THE HOLE 6 INCHES DEEPER THEN ROOT BALL HEIGHT. YOU WILL NOT APPLY FERTILIZER DURING PLANTING. ONCE YOU HAVE THE HEIGHT RIGHT. SPRAY THE INSIDE OF THE HOLE WITH WATER…ALSO WET DOWN YOUR ROOT BALL AND EXPOSED ROOTS. YOU CAN START BACK FILLING THE HOLE WITH A POTTING SOIL… APPLYING WATER EVERY NOW AND THEN TO TAKE AWAY ANY AIR POCKETS.. FOR THE LAST 2 TO 4 INCHES I LIKE TO MIX POTTING SOIL AND SOME OF THE DIRT THAT WAS TAKEN FROM THE GROUND.. PRESS DOWN WITH YOUR FOOT AROUND THE NEW SOIL AND WATER IT IN.. APPLY MORE SOIL IF NEED BE. THEN I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE A SMALL MOUND ALL AROUND THE HOLE. KIND OF LIKE A DAMN… THIS IS HELP KEEP WATER IN AS SOAK THE TREE EVERY OTHER DAY FOR NEXT 2 WEEKS. THEN YOU CAN APPLY MULCH AROUND THE TREE BUT KEEP IT OFF THE TRUNK OF THE TREE BY AT LEAST 4 INCHES. YOU CAN NOW SOAK THE SOIL AROUND THE TREE. AND WILL DO THIS EVERY OTHER DAY FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. THIS WILL HELP THE TREE WITH SHORTENING ITS SHOCK TIME. AFTER TWO WEEKS ONLY WATER THE TREE MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. TO MUCH WATER WILL KILL THE TREE. WHEN WATERING NEVER SPRAY THE PALM FRONDS, JUST THE SOIL AROUND THE TRUNK. IN THREE WEEKS YOU CAN KNOW APPLY A SLOW RELEASE GRANULATED PALM FERTILIZER. KEEP IN MIND YOUR TREE IS A LIVING THING AND IT WILL GO INTO A TRANSPLANT SHOCK. TRANSPLANT SHOCK CAN TAKE A WEEK OR TWO TO START AND CAN LAST UP TO TWO TO FOUR WEEKS. DO NOT PANIC IF YOUR TREE STARTS TO LOOK SICK… IT IS NATURAL… IF AFTER 6 WEEKS OF PLANTING AND YOUR TREE DOES NOT LOOK ITS RECOVERING GIVE US A CALL.
