Palm Tree
How much should you water a palm tree after it has been transplanted?
We just transplanted a 4 foot hight palm tree from our front yard to our back yard that doesn't seem to be doing very well. How do we know if it is just in shock and will eventually recover, or if we have been overwatering or underwatering it? How much should you water newly transplanted palm trees? And how long does it talke to recover from the shock of transplant? Only serious answers, please.
Transplanting any tree is a tough project. My guess is that you trimmed the root ball down considerably to be able to manage the tree, and it is now in shock.
In ideal soil conditions for a palm, which is loose and sandy, there is no such thing as too much water(especially now). However, if the hole was dug in hardpan or dense soil, the moisture will not perculate, and could cause fungus to infect the root system.
If you smell fungus when you poke around the roots, it has been over-watered. Let it dry out a bit, and hope for the best. As for the eventual fate of the palm, look at the "nut", or the center of the leaves. If it turns brown and begins to droop, that's it for the tree. If, however, it looks healthy, continue with the patient and hope for the best.
