- We bought this Palm from a palm tree nursery and are moving it from the pot to the ground. The weather is ideal for the palm but not us as it was around 108 degrees. It actually took us around a 1 1/2 to do but felt like a days work.
I planted one and have two more to plant. I’m glad I watched your video after the first one. I didn’t know to add water in the hole while planting and backfilling! I’ll do it on my next 2!
I just brought 4 of those trees on April 27th they were on sale redoing my garden this video helped me understand what I just planted and it want make my foundation bucker up,thanks
Great video! Scoring the roots vertically before planting will encourage them to grow outward and away from their root-bound structure.
Great video and a beautiful job with your Robellini palm !
Beautiful and I like the place where you planted palm. Looks great!
Your video helped me … thank you😀
Just beautiful !! That’s what I want. Perfect! Good job! Thanks!
I can't believe such a pot bound roebelenii can look so healthy!
Great job Thk you ! This helped
Thanks you
Im a geordie. Heard your accent. Just bought one of these palms from morrisons for £30. Got excited thinking wow someone growing this outside in wet cold GB. Read comments realised you're in US. 😞 yours looks fabulous.
Oh brother, that made me laugh. Morrisons sold a Robellini? if it is it wont survive an English winter
@@EnglandAndy yep. I couldn't get it in my trolley fast enough. It's a beaut. It's not often "up north" find decent tropical plants. But yes think I'll have to treat it as a house plant! Thank you for video anyways.
Good Job man just about to plant my Christmas Palm here in California see how I do lol
Thank you! It looks really nice.
Thank you so much ❤️
Good work Andy. I'm doing the same but planting my palm, in nice San Diego spring weather around 74 degrees. Btw, how bout post a video on how it looks now. Thx for the video and tips.
Thanks, I do yearly videos of the things I've done so Jan 1st next year . Actually, I think it's in this years 2020
Good Job mate! Not easy!
Thanks, almost collapsed twice with heat exhaustion.
Beutifull palm
Thank you.
Very Good
It's beautiful
Yes, it is
Nice backyard!
Thank you, I've been working on it an putting videos up to show the progress but there's only so much you can do with the Florida heat.
Look a beautiful Roebelenii palm
Thanks bruv,
Take those lumber tags off the deck beautiful palm just purchased one! 1/5 the size
I did but it took around 6 months to do 😀
It doesn’t look “good” looks beautiful my friend. Awesome work. Maybe concave the dirt so that water doesn’t run down when watering.
Thank you, I just mulched it again and put a large ring of mulch around it.
Your video shows up in my feed i thought I'll take a look, beautiful plant. I just got 1, i put it half Sun half shade only 45 mins in a 105 degree heat1 branch got burned a bite. I moved it to full shaded spot woth bright light no more burning. When i see you put it under the Sun i was bite worry
I think the key is to deep water it for a week or so
Thanks Andy this is going to help me a lot because I don't have any experience in this. So you're saying do not put any mulch in the hole right? But then once it's fully planted and all the soil and dirt is back in it then we can put mulch around it is that correct? And how much mulch do you think I need? And thank you so much for your help
Yes, according to my local ext office you just use the native dirt and no amendments. Mulch, I put around 3 inches and created a dish so the water wouldn't run away. Don't forget to keep watering.
You should do an update video just shows house doing I just bought one so it’s very interesting to me.
Just did an end of year review of what I did in the garden. Check out my video
seems no one has done a video explaining the differences between a pygmy date palm and a regular date palm, however, it's also possible that people looking at such a plant knows what to expect a pygmy date palm to be and i'm assuming it's just a smaller variety of the plant that still bears the comparable fruit.
Andy great video. I have a Pygmy date Palm in the ground next to my spa. It’s actually has two palms coming out from one base. I don’t know what happened but one side died. The other side seems fine. Would I be able to cut the palm at the base to remove the dead half or will it kill the other side?
Thank you for the comments. So this is what you need to do. Put a internet search of UF/IFAS office and find your nearest one. Every county has one and I don't know what zone you are in but these people are excellent in gardening advice . They are free of charge so don't worry about that but they will answer your questions and if you call them they will ask the questions for you. The question you asked me had not enough information , location , soil, diseases,, drainage but the first thing I thought of was Is the palm planted to close to the spa and is the spray hitting the palm ? overtime this will be an issue. Hope this helps.
You can trim it. It’s two separate trees. Trimming one will not hurt the other.
Very nice... how much time before it grows back to the look of when you first got it ?
Funnily enough, it never changed. It looked as good as ever until about a week ago when the cold came and got a few brown fronds. I will be doing an end of year update video of what I have done in the garden and the palm will be in there but still looks great.
@@EnglandAndy I asked because I actually prefer the more full look even with a few browning fronds. So was curious as to the time period for new fronds to grow back.
It's very full right now with much more fronds than when I bought it. it was 5 months ago I made the video. I will trim it again in March.
@@EnglandAndy Thanks and great choice.
Thank you so much! I'm a beginner gardener and have a client that has asked for one of these to be planted in their backyard. Showing the whole process was super helpful for me. Also knowing the sandy soil does not need anything added was great info! Not sure if you still check comments, but its January in Florida, is this an ok time to plant one?
No, I would wait till it's hot or at least till all the cold nights have passed.
South Florida plant all year safely. North Florida March-June are the best months.
I'm in Florida trying to dig through some what rock ground so I dig a little bit at a time daily for an identical pygmy so thanks for the video it's helpful.. ps what br 3:33 eed of dog is that he's or she's cute
Thank you and he’s a cockapoo
Wish i would have watched this before i planted mine
Did yours not come out good?
Same… I used soil from Lowe’s for mine 😅 hopefully they don’t die.
time will tell I guess
I bought a baby date palm.its about 7cm high . Its a single trunk. Do i need to plant 3 singles together to make it a triple trunk?
7cm? that's still a seedling, so yes I would. Pygmy's are pretty shallow rooted so it would give plenty of time for each plants roots to entwine with each other or you can take a chance with the plant you have and see if it grows of shoots.
lol "want me to hoes you!" haha careful
You left half the root ball above the surface.....dig a deeper hole next time
Hi ! I got 2 Just like this and I plant them 2 months ago and they are turning brown the new leaves that's growing are turning brown ! can you tell me please How often do I have to water them? Thank you!
I deep watered mine everyday for around 2 to 3 weeks . I let the hose run on them for around 20 to 30 minutes at the base. Do not fertilize.
@@EnglandAndy Thank You!
Now you have the brown tips they won't go away until you cut the fronds off but don't do it for a while
How often do you water your palm tree?
When I planted it I watered everyday unless it rained for around 2 weeks and then around twice a week after that for around another 2 weeks and then once a week till now
Can I grow one in Arlington Texas zone 8 which gets some very low temps.
I think it need 9 and above
what is your location? Looks like Florida but your accent is having me second guess.
Yep, central Florida.
@@EnglandAndy I lived in orlando before and don't recall dirt like that! My 2nd guess was going to be California. Is that red clay dirt? Is it hard to grow anything in that?
@@moselc09Nope, it's pure crappy Myakka sand/dirt. It has no value to any plant unless it's a weed.
Mulch should not be near the trunk
How much watet, sun, humidity do they need once established?
It's been around 2 months since this video and it's been 90 plus each day with high humidity. I have not done a thing to the palm , it has rained at least twice a week . The palm looks awesome. I wish all plants were like this that you had to do nothing in the way of care.
Thank's for your quick reply, looks like you got about the same weather we did. I'm thinking of getting one but I will need to bring in for Winter, I'm in zone 6b so I'm wondering if it will be ok inside with less humidity?
@@sandorspalms I am 9b and it is still in the 90s and just now dropping off. 6b hmmm not sure but check what your local extension office website to see if it's okay to plant. I was surprised about July being the hottest month, Hungarian right?
@@EnglandAndy Yes Hungarian but I live in Toronto Canada and thanks for help!
Thats NOT A PYGMY PALM...that's a Roebelini !
Read the title and then google it, they are the same
@@EnglandAndy Gotdayum....so many names for the same Plant. AKA Mediterranean Dwarf Palm
I believe that is one and the same
I am an idiot for not watching this.Just lost $200...
What did you do?
@@EnglandAndy dug a hole twice as deep (it was all desert rock) and 3 times as wide then cut the roots instead of leaving them alone.Two parts fill dirt,one part organic mulch,one part sand. It isnt doing well,and the water drains off quickly.Dont have patience to drip water it
@@stanbarrington9698 I feel for you, these trees are pretty hardy though. Mine looked crappy until a few weeks ago until the rains came.
