Default Re: Palm tree peeps!

Hey man. I know alittle about palms. It's a palmetto, but talked to a guy that has been planting them for 25 years. He said if it sat out with roots exposed to 30 degree temps several times. Then it's not worth the money to install a free tree. I showed him pics as he is local.
Yes I have several windmill,had two large fan palms we moved with us during a rough winter to our new house. But they died. Will just be buying a 12ft from a local nursery here in a few weeks. It's a shame the builders let this huge 12ft tree just die. They could have atleast sold it to someone or posted it for free. I could have had it moved for $150.00 and placed in a hole I dug. But glad the guy was honest with me that it wasn't going to make it.
