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. %U https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/isa/21/2/98.full.pdf
