How to Grow Palm Trees
First, it’s very important that you choose the right tree that can survive in your climate. If you’re thinking about planting it in the ground year-round, you should make sure that you live in the areas that are highlighted green. If you live outside these areas, it’s best to plant your tree in a container, so you can bring it indoors during the winter months.
Sunlight needs will vary. For instance, the Needle palm requires 6 to 8 hours of full afternoon sun per day. All of the other palm trees can withstand partial or full sun exposure.
How to Plant Palm Trees
When planting in a container, select a pot with drainage holes on the bottom and one that's 2 to 3 times the size of the root ball, leaving room for those roots to get established.
While your tree is maturing, it’s important that you water it frequently to help the roots form. You should water your tree at least 2 to 3 times per week, or more if you live in a drier climate. After the roots develop a better structure, you will only need to water it two times a month.
How to Care for Palm Trees
For starters, Palm Trees are very different from regular trees when it comes to pruning. The only time you should prune your tree is when the fronds are discolored or broken. Palms get most of their energy from their fronds, so it’s important to be careful not to remove too many. By gently trimming your tree, it will not only eliminate nesting places for little critters but also prevent further damage from happening to your tree.
How Do Palm Trees Grow?
Not all Palm Trees are luxurious and tall. There are many different types, in all shapes and sizes, to fit your needs. For instance, there are some Palm Trees that have clustered trunks, resembling a shrub. Others grow into the iconic shape seen on islands and beaches.
