Posted by Darell Ya, they seem to be doing well. I took a black Sharpie marker and marked the petioles on a couple of my Mexican Fans just to check growth this summer. I have been using Carl Poole's Palm Food on them and I water all my palms every other day. They love it! I have really enjoyed them. --Previous Message--

Hey Bill,
: Darell, mine have about 6' tall trunks,
: the trunk on one of them has gotten
: really big around like close to
: 36" diameter while the other has
: remained skinnier at around 20".
: Since they are hybrids is guess one has
: a little more filifera in it. Both are
: at around 12-16' tall. Sounds like
: yours are doing fine.

: Hey Bill,
:
: Have your Mexican Fan
: Palms/Washingtonias grown as much as
: hers? I also bought 2-3 at Wal Mart
: and one at Lowes 2 years ago but mine
: are not near that tall. Mine are only
: about 8 feet tall. Do you think in the
: third year my palms will experience
: more growth?

: I have some Washingtonia hybrids that i
: got at Wal-Mart for 13 bucks 5 years
: ago and they have grown a lot too. Just
: trim off the dead fronds close to the
: trunk. It's basically that simple. I
: have trimmed mine numerous times over
: the years, i can't imagine what yours
: look like! You will be pleased with the
: results of a good grooming. Good luck.
