I've binged on a number of these videos recently from Earth Works and David is an absolute master of palms. Thank you sir for sharing your training and experience.
Hi David, I live in San Felipe Baja blocks from the beach. I have several fan leaf palms. Some older and some newly transplanted in sandy soil. The weather is typically the same as So. Florida, Hot and Humid. What are your suggestions for the best watering tips.
San Sebastian (Donestia) is on the Atlantic Coast. the climate is quite different from the Mediterranean. Just FYI about your picture representation of the Mediterranean. The Med is much dryer than the lush northern Atlantic coast (Basque region) of Spain.
Great job David on your Palm videos. So knowledgeable. I subscribed since your videos are so informative. Question: see 6:49 where it shows the Pindo Palm bent, how is that done?
I just moved into a house with a neglected jelly palm. All of the previous fronds were just cut off at the end. I am in the process of cleaning up the trunk which is easily 3-4 feet around and 12 feet tall. My question is, how close to the trunk should I cut them. Many are rotted and just pull out, or when the saw blade touches them, tear out. I have trimmed up about 5 feet. I washed the trunk and a lot of debris is still behind the frond that I left. I believe that is the main cause of the rot. Dirt that is just good compost allowING volunteers to germinate. Please let me know if I need to trim these back any further. I'm using a Sawzall and they are still tough. TIA
loved the Video , very Informative, I have a question about Revitalizing the soil in a 20 gallon barrel where a 6 foot Bismark Palm tree has rooted itself. I have been contemplating using Vermicule & perlite at the top of the soil so it eventually soaks into the soil. I have no intention of removing the palm tree from the barrel for the next year or two until i can acquire land to plant it. SO my only alternative righ now is to just reinvigorate the soil as best i can so they can absorb nutrients.. The palm trees have for sure rooted in the entire barrel so these no way for me to remove and replace soill. The water is soaking into the soil 2-3 seconds after i soak it weekly so the soikl does have a thic sandy consistency, not mud, which is a positive thing, i thnik i can extend its life, Any advice is welcome i was even speaking with a chemical engineer who did some cources in hydrophonics , he was suggesting to do the as you suggested as some organic composite to revitalize the soil or some Bountiful to fluffy the sand so it can obsorb the nutrients better. I do have them in direct sunlight & i have been repeatedly told that they are drough tolerant but i fear i am Beverly under-watering them, i have not yet invested n a hydrometer or a ph meter but soo will. My watering cycle has basically been just 1-2 mins of a hose at the top of the barrel, i fear that far from what a 25gallon barrel requires....today i put approx 1 gallon in the barrel, it seemed to soak in slowly as the roots are so comact making the soil compact...i actaully read online that where oyu have a pot that is for example 25 galons as in my case , oyu allow for 25 gallons of water to flow nto the pot...does that make sense at all?i suppose that owuld make sense if the pot has excellent drainage...in this case ot be safe a 5 gallon bucket should be sufficient ever 2-3 days considering i am in the tropical caribbean of St Lucia and the heat & sun for sure dry out that barrel... ANy rain we do will unlikley fill more than 1 liter or two into the barrel every 2 weeks. I am going to treat the barrel with Banrot, so that would allow me to water it more frequently without fear of rotting n the soil but at the same time i am trying to gradually increase the watering amount and frequncy to make sure the nutrients and fungiisides like banrot cand get into he palm. Sinc ei cant trust the solil, i am actually using liquid fertilizers like superthrive and nutrient express meant to be absorbed intot he roots within 15 min as a precaution directly intot he crown and around the base/trunk of the roots..seems to be the only sure applicaton for obsorption, especially since i fear i am under-watering..i am seeing a progressive yellow to browning of the bottom leaves to a fast extent but at the same tme i see the top leaves now releasing into a new fan.. Please advise me accordingly, if you would like to see the actual palms is there a social media contact i can send you the videos and photos? i have started a regimented watering cycle every other day i would add 5 gallons in intervals of 10 mins between each gallon in all four barrels , two barrels seem to be drainng after the first 3 gallons so i stop and continue for the next two barrels up to the 5 gallons cause they seem to really need it dure to more soil in the barrel and there slightly larger size. SO i do have another concern, now i had this issue when i first started nurturing strap vanda orchids ....the plants seem to have a very week immune system on arriving to me as they are highly succeptible to yellow bacterial spotting on the foilage, now my approach has been to fetilize to strengthen the palms but then as well to spray with an antifungual and natural fungiside cleaner kasumin all the foilage and crown as well as roots, but apparently not even that has arrested it as yet , obviously it nees more treatments to strengthen its system, but i also plan to use a systemic fungiside called banrot which i saw in a documentary by Motes orchid garden to be one of the best systemic funguisides for prevention of disease....i didint want to overwhelm the oalm with the banrot this week but for sure next week.. my foilage does have alot of yellow spots, i did apply a rooting fertilizer called 12 24 12 & i am using small amounts of epson salts a, nutrient express and Superthrive hormone that contains the vitimn B1 to help with shock from movng the palms...its been about 10 days ive had them, they have finally stabilized after having suffered a loss of the bottom 2-3 leaves on each cause i underwatered but we already addressed that issue now its to strengthen the immune system and stop the bacterial succeptibility to the yellow spots and bacteria on the leaves.... i was told to use some limestone in my mix but i dont really want to interfere with the soil in the pot as i did replace the first two layers when it arrived wth fresh potting soil and that as well probably contributed to the loss of the bottom leaves which turned brown and are ready to be pruned...fortunetly the new spheres in the centerof all the plants are in large numbers of 4-5 so if i can build the health of them i am lookng at some healthy new spheres opening up...now all that i have said is from my research, any adive on any of the things i am doing is welcome so as to guide me in the correct direction..thanks so much for your responses , makes me feel im not alone in all this.hope to hear from you soon
They come like that from the growers. Most of the trees come with the black/white plastic or burlap. I would get in touch with a grower and ask them for the specific name of the plastic wrap.
A Baby Bottle Palm will have a reddish hue color on its trunk, leaf stems and leaf bases, a baby Royal Palm will have a green with cinnamon-colored tomentum hair on its trunks, leaf stem, and leaf bases. The leaves on the Bottle Palm and more leathery (stiff) vs. the more relaxed thinner leaf of the Royal Palm.
hello i have transplanted a 32 feet long palm , i ve placed in a 5 feet deep hole then the palm was pruned after being placed in the new location not before and i was always irrigating it . it is already 2 years and the palm leaves are not regenerating but the roots seems to be growing , the palm looks weak . what should I do??
What is the name of the palm? The hole being 5 feet concerns me. Is the depth of the hole 5 feet or the diameter? If any pert of the truck is buried deeper than it was originally grown, that could create a problem.
Hi!.. I wanna go for research on palms 5 varieties...but I have no idea how to wash and clean the palms seeds... I planted the bismarkia palm, Queen palm, canaria palm Copernacia palm and foxtail palm.. Can u give me suggestions how to wash the seeds and which chemicals is best for these varieties to early germination? Pleases reply to my question tha k you..
Via David C. The Bismarck Palm and the Foxtail Palm seeds will germinate after the fruit surrounding the seed decomposes, this usually takes approximately one month in warm temperatures above 80 degrees. Once the fruit has started to decompose, you can remove the flesh and rinse off the seed. Let the seeds dry out for one day, then soak the seeds in clean water for 24 hours prior to sowing the seeds. Keep your soil media moist. The Bismarck and Foxtail seeds can be pressed into the soil half the depth of the seed, on their sides. Foxtail palm seeds usually begin to germinate in one month, Bismarck seeds can take up to three months. Canary Island Date Palm, Copernicia alba and Queen palms seeds also need to be cleaned like the Bismarck and Foxtail, however the Canary and Copernicia seeds are much smaller with much less fruit. After the fruit has decomposed and or been removed, rinse the seeds, let them dry out and store in a cool dry place until you are ready to sow them. The Canary, Copernicia and Queen palm seeds should be pushed down completely into the soil. These three type of palm seeds all should begin to germinate within one to two months! No chemicals are needed, just soak the seeds in clean water for 24 hours, prior to sowing them.
@@EarthWorksJax Thank u so much for replying me... I want to do priming with these seeds by using the chemicals for early germination... U have any idea which chemical will be best for these palms seeds germination?
Nice video! I'm in Fort Walton Beach (panhandle), would like to find a Palm similar to the Areca Palm (no thorns and big leafs) for a natural fence. Any recommendations? Temps go down 30s sometimes high 20s during winter.

Yes, I meant the Bismarck Palm is native to the Country of Madagascar, located off the the Southeast coast of the Continent of Africa! Good catch Edd! 🌴

Thank you!
Between the Pindo and the Canary, which palm has thorns at the end of the pinnate leaves?
This video was awesome! I learned a great deal about all kinds of Palm Trees and how to care for them. I highly recommend this Website and Subscribe!
Thank you Debra!
Well done - thanks!
Very knowledgeable, thank you for the info. Do you have a video that explains more palms? Would love to know about the blue Hesper palm.
Awesome BOP behind you!

How close can I plant queen palms
ビスマルキア ノビリス 最高
カナリエンシスの葉柄が黄色のも良い
Can I send you a picture of my two queen palms? One of them was skinned too young. San I save it?
Do these trees host other plants. Found a few in my area with strange black berries growing from them. Found the answer is certain species.
Great information.
Yes got that
