Palm trees recovering from Winter damage

May 17th, 2012 · No Comments

Palm trees recovering from Winter damage – many of the palm trees recovering from winter damage have created new shoots from dormant buds in the lower part of the main stems often from just under the soils surface. Often the plant has produced to many shoots show you can remove all but one of the shoots and allow it to grow away to for a new main stem or leave a number of new shoots to form a more bushy plant.
In addition to this sometimes the new shoot that start underground also produce additional roots at the base of the new shoots and in this case you can carefully dig around the new shoots and expose the new roots and cut the stem away from the main stem taking some of the new roots as well and pot up until the plant becomes established and then the plant can be planted out.
