I rescued my severely neglected palm last week , it looked far worse than yours, so hoping it’s now happier and will thrive! Pretty much did what you demonstrated apart from sawing the roots. Fingers crossed
I have a few trackys a bit larger that Id like to put in the ground. When i dig the holes would you add fertilizer at this time of year mid August? And would you tease the roots out or not disturb the roots. I live in the same climate as you.
@regalportraits3921 I wouldn't disturb the roots for use a strong fertiliser. Seaweed extract is a very week fertiliser that promotes roots growth so good to use
How tall can this palm grow Kris ? Also, do you cut away the shoots it produces ? I'm thinking of getting one, but I'm aware it throws out new shoots. Thanks.
That palm is hard as nails. Old school tough love given to it. Love it 😁👍
The Northern guide to man handling palm! Very refreshing! 😂😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

If it was pot grown it'll be fine. Dug from the ground is a little less certain but has a good chance
@@YorkshireKRIS pot grown now in a bigger one!
Could you tell me what seaweed fertilizer you would recommend? thanks.
@@swordjumper I use maxicrop

A lovely palm, but why are they so prone to black spots on older leaves?
Cold wet winters is the main cause. Some specimens are far more prone than others

About 10/12 cm a year. It's unusual to see specimens taller than 3 or so metres but are mostly multi trunked
This palm would be much happier in the ground rather than in a pot!
As with any plant, Yes but this is one of the most adoptable palms and one of the best options for a pot. The other one is in the ground
