Frequently Asked Questions About Paradise Palms NC

When should I fertilize my Palm Trees?

The most important factor for a healthy palm tree is good soil. The type of soil determines how much sand and compost is needed. The best contribution you can make to your palm tree’s soil is adding sand and Compost/topsoil. Another important component of palm tree care is careful fertilization. Palm trees require specially formulated fertilizers that answer to very specific conditions. You should fertilize your palm two or three times a year.

How do I plant a palm tree?

Dig the hole two to three times as wide as the root system. Palm trees thrive in well-drained soil. Mix 1 part sand and 2 parts compost to backfill the hole. It is important to note, that the hole needs to be just deep enough so that the tree is planted at the same depth at which it was grown. Do not bury the trunk. The base of the trunk should be at ground level. Backfill the hole with the composed soil and sand mixture. Tap the soil with your foot to remove any large air pockets that may exist. Now build a soil barrier around the circumference of your hole to form a dam that will return water. Finally, water the tree. Soak it. Adding a two or three-inch layer of mulch around the tree is recommended.
