TY - JOUR T1 - Factors Affecting the Survival of Transplanted Sabal Palms JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 98 LP - 103 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1995.017 VL - 21 IS - 2 AU - Arthur C. Costonis Y1 - 1995/03/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/21/2/98.abstract N2 - The growth and vigor of sabal palms with their fronds removed before transplanting were statistically superior to those with fronds intact at time of transplanting. A root wrap treatment combined with planting the palms 4-6 inches above existing grade on a wet site statistically improved both the growth and the vigor of the palms whether the fronds were removed or intact. The loss rate in the study palms was 2.1% compared to the loss rate of 99% of the transplanting that employed conventional techniques. ER -
