Potting Up Palms | Jack Shilley 

+Krisztián Mohácsi Glad you enjoyed it! Yes the white stones do look pretty nice on there, but they also help to retain moisture and suppress weeds! Thanks for watching!

+Nuray O'Connell Exciting! Please let me know how it goes!! :)

Whats the 5 year update?

Palms are just THE BEST!!!

Yes very much so

Which type of palm tree have fruits or all types

I have many!! And they all look fab, lasting outside all year round!

Since you said windmill palm hardy 10 below zero my die from that too cold they can survive cold winter with protection without it short term live cold winter and only work warmer winter and dry cold with o degrees and 10 below zero in new Mexico and they grow many palms in Albuquerque new Mexico because is much warmer than my ave in Colorado springs and grand junction co have windmill palms leave always truly in dry cold o degrees and grow back. My true cold hardy palms for 10 below zero is sabal minor and Louisiana is needle palm and sabal mccurtain. Washingtonia filifera and filibusta can survive 10 below zero with dry cold and leaves froze and grow back fast. I will try my washingtonia palms in my yard next year and hopefully big enough for winter protection til they get trunk and see what happens next after too big to handle and grow fast and out grow winter protection. Windmill palm is slower Easter to keep them alive with winter protection and keep them dry. Humidity cold and ice can kill windmill palm now always survive humidity cold. I live in dry air climate. More chance to have my palms to live in winter. Because when they tell you windmill palm live 10 below people thought it can live but now always. Live and learn. And ground from kill palms roots they can die keep ground warm they live from use mulch and cover in winter. And near my house wall ground stay warm yearound.

How much water do you put on, how often please.

Hi Philip! Does a T. Wagnerianus need drainage when planted in a backyard directly into the ground? I planted it in the backyard and then I start reading about it. LOL New leaves grow, but they are not dark green, and the old leaves are yellow-green. It' about 20 inches big palm with leaves. Some advice??

V8AmericanMuscleCar most palms like to be well drained. As long as it isn’t in a low spot and water isn’t pooling around the trunk it should be fine. If drainage is an issue for you and it’s roots are always wet, you may want to dig up the palm and raise up the area the palm is in (3 foot radius) and replant with a good draining mix.

@@victoriavisscher8239 thanks. The surface dries quickly and what's down around the roots can't be sure. Water doesn't remains on the surface and when I water it, the water is not retained. So I don't know, maybe leave it as it is... 😬

+Joe Harvey Thanks for watching! Phoenix palms are beautiful- and easy going too! A great first choice!

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching. -Jack

UK palm societies on Facebook.

Around a foot a year.

He used a brand called John Inn No 3 which I think you only get it in UK

John Inn No 3

It’s John Innes No 3 which is just a brand make here in uk of a light nutrient rich sandy soil type, used for potting. But if you’re not in Uk you should substitute it with a mix of any garden gritty sand and any general potting compost (50//50) and add some perlite if you have it for extra drainage but not essential. Basically you want a nutrient rich gritty soil for your palm.
