Washingtonia Robusta: One tough Palm

16 years ago

My Robusta was dieing a slow death after I repotted it last May. Air pockets and the fact that the water would just roll of the top and not sink into the soil I'm sure were the culprits. A week ago Monday I repotted it in one of my Ginat pots (100+ Gallon). In just 8 days while it's barely gottten over 80 and fallen into the 50s at night and the newest frond firmed right up and is already opening. I should have done this back in June but oh well. I am now confident it still has enough summer to make a full comeback. This palm could easliy be 7-8 feet in a couple of years. Robustas: ONE TOUGH PALM!
