     Lets Plant A Palm

Q:  Will a palm tree live in the upstate area

A:  Yes

 We have been planting palm trees in the upstate for 10 years. The key to planting palm trees in clay is new soil, or cultivating. The palmetto palm (Cabbage palm) is the hardest palm of all to plant. Lets find out why. When you shop for a palmetto, you are looking at a tree that's 10 - 20 ft tall. Remember that tree was growing 50 to 80 years in Florida. When the palmetto is dug, most of the root system will die, you will notice the top of the palmetto is all gone except  the small green center ( the bud ), this is called hurricane cut. It's done for transportation and remember most of all the root system is gone. Lets say they left all of the limbs ( fronds ) on the tree. You will have alot of fronds and no root system to support the tree, bad mistake.

Now to the soil. we have found out in the upstate, new soil is best. Digging a hole in clay can be a palmetto trees  grave, if the hole doesn't drain water will stay in the hole and root rot will happen. We have planted 100's of palmettos and have found out raised beds is very important. It allows drain and the root system can move with ease. It will take about 3 years to get your tree established with the right fertilizer and watering.

            Our Palmetto planting season is...

2nd week in march thru mid september.

  Good luck with your palm tree, and if you ever need to find out any additional information please call us.
