Wut type of soil is the best for a palm tree?
I plant mine in the nasty clay soil in my back yard. It's so bad (clay) that the indians used to come here to get the clay to make their pots. I do add sand to break up the clay. So they will grow in most soils because they are survivors of hot salty climates. My advice is not to use soil that dries out easily. They really don't like to be pampered. I bought a sabal palm a couple of years ago and it was only a foot tall but the pot it was in was a foot and a half deep. They have a tremendous tap root that goes straight down. He told me to not overwater while it was in the pot, to let it almost dry out and then give it a good watering-soak it and then leave it alone. I not a good fertilizer but I believe he said something about occasionally fertilizing. It's in the ground now and ever so slowly growing. They are natural here and have been cut down and replaced with faster growing ones. Beware of sago palms, both the king and queen ones, there is a pest that is killing all of them here. It requires treating the tree with pesticide for its lifetime...and then you find out the palm is actually a huge fern. . .Large palm most likely to succeed in a pot-Chinese Fan Palm. One has straight leaves and another has droopy leaves with long tendrils-much prettier and could be a Washitonia. They are almost impossible to kill and come up everywhere like weeds. Be sure to get it outside in the summer for lots and lots of sun.

Reply:Palm trees grow in places that are warm and have a lot of sunshine. They are medium-sized trees that grow in coastal regions. Palm trees often grow close to water. Maritime weather is best suited forpalm trees. They grow in almost any type of soil ( plz nt desert sand! ). Palm Trees are widely adaptable when it comes to the soil type, and all are highly drought resistant.


The vast majority of palms live in the tropics. Palms are abundant throughout the tropical regions around the world, and are present in almost every type of habitat in the tropics. Diversity is highest in wet, lowland tropical forests.
