i have a smallish King palm that has 2 trunks coming from the one base. Is it possible to cut one of them back, as when they are full grown, the double trunk won't look right with the other palms I have growing. Or do I need to dig it up and plant a single?

I like the look of double and triple king palms. They actually prefer to be grown in clumps. If they just dont work out being double, you could seperate them. Just be very careful to keep the roots of each respective palm in tact. They are probably really tangled with one another, but with care they will both live. Use superthrive to reduce the shock when replanted apart.
And, I dont see why they couldnt be planted on a hillside, just as long as they get enough water and sun. Kings like plenty of water. Ryan Edited by tropicalks on Apr 27, 2006 at 05:07 PM |
