The tree looks good. Just some advice and its not meant as criticism.
Black nursery pots are best to use due to area for root development. See how your pits taper at the bottom, that just restricts the area for root growth. You can pick up used nursery pots from landscapes companies and nurseries.
The fertilizer you are using is not bad but it d I es lack some of the minor elements. If you can find 8-3-9, that I s good, or otherwise search for a high quality palm fertilizer.
If you feel inclined, you can tip the new growth. You do not have to let it harden off. Dont take off too much, just the tip and let the nodes be your guide. The new growth will come out in the direction the nodes are facing.
Lastly, make sure you keep watering.
Thanks Rob, no I didn't take it as a criticism any advise is greatly appreciated.
Yeah, those green pots I have aren't exactly the greatest pots, very thin and flimsy. I was going to replace them soon. Thanks for the tip on using nursery pots, I'll take a trip up to Lukas Nursery and see if they have any used ones for sale. Locals seem to like that nursery (I haven't been there yet) and they also have a butterfly encounter, so my wife will enjoy that.
I'll keep an eye out for 8-3-9 fertilizer or good palm tree fertilizer. I wish I lived near Excalibur, from what I've read in different threads, they make their own blend. That and I wouldn't have to worry about those frosts.
I'll tip the tips off tomorrow and see if I can find the nodes. And yes, I definitely will keep watering, it's been hot and too dry for a few weeks now.
Thanks again for all your help!
