I just discovered your channel. Looks like a lot of good info, I'll have to check out some of your other videos. I grow the basics of cold hardy palms too in my zone 7B. What region or zone are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I need to do a video update on my smaller windmill palms soon. It was another cold winter here and my biggest windmills practically defoliated again but should be ok. I don't do much in the way of winter protection. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Thanks.
Yes, they actually grow naturally most of the time in part shade, and they can survive with minimal sunlight. If you live somewhere farther north or with mild temperatures year round, I would plant them in full or nearly full sun to maximize growth. If you are somewhere like the Deep South you can pretty much plant them wherever and the growth rates will be similar. I would personally recommend about half shade half sun.
I dig your channel.
Good job.
Great job 🌱
Thank you!

I am near Richmond, Virginia. I got lots of videos up and will be certainly doing more over the summer (I’m only there for parts of the year)!
Were all of these planted the same time?
Yes I planted them all together, I put the largest three in one spot and four other ones under the pine tree (a squirrel dug up two of those ones)
Can they grow in part shade? How much sun do they need...at a minimum?
