Factors Affecting the Survival of Transplanted Sabal Palms    (View PDF)

Arthur C. Costonis

Abstract: The growth and vigor of sabal palms with their fronds removed before transplanting were statistically superior to those with fronds intact at time of transplanting. A root wrap treatment combined with planting the palms 4-6 inches above existing grade on a wet site statistically improved both the growth and the vigor of the palms whether the fronds were removed or intact. The loss rate in the study palms was 2.1% compared to the loss rate of 99% of the transplanting that employed conventional techniques.
