Default Re: Palm Transplanting| Phoenix canariensis| Canary Island Date Palm in Brisbane dead

It cannot be emphasised enough that ensuring the removal of air gaps around the roots and soil of the transplanted tree or palm are one of the most overlooked aspects of the replanting procedure in any transplant...and responsible for more declining and dying plants than anything else IMHO....it takes less than an half an hour of simple labour to avoid this, even on big transplants.
