Online Seminars has an article called Planting Palms. It will be available for discussion at the website for January and February.

Quote:

The practice of tying the leaves into a bundle to protect the bud from drying has been found to have no positive effect and could actually lead to fungal infection in the bud if irrigation or rainfall was frequent.

Despite what the research tells us, I still see palms being planted with the top tied into a bundle. What is it going to take to convince arborists to change their practice?
