: Hi Tom. The neighbor who ran over my
: sago palm in September has agreed to
: replace it, and has ordered it and
: is ready to put it in the spot where
: the old one is. Two questions: (1)
: Should I have them put it directly
: where the old one was (or is it
: likely that the root system of the
: old one will produce a new plant
: eventually) and (2) Is it okay to
: plant it now (I'm in Charleston, SC,
: and it won't get really cold until
: February). Let me know your
: thoughts.
:
If the bottom of the plant is still in the ground, you have a very good chance that new plants will be produced from the base, and I would not suggest planting a plant right on top.
I have landscaped around 1400 houses and when new houses are finished, I would landscape them no matter what time of year it was. To me, the rule is, that if you are planting a cold hardy plant for your area, it doesn't matter when you plant it. So, go ahead and put it in any time you want.
