Windmill Palm Planting Hole Size: Critical for Root Establishment

Undersized Hole Consequences

Hole only root-ball width prevents root breakout; roots circle and strangulate. Clay soil worsens this.

Correct Planting

1. Hole 2× root ball width.
2. Loosen root ball before placing.
3. Backfill with native soil, water to settle, repeat to grade.

Mulch and Water

Pull mulch from trunk; water deeply 2×/week initially.
