Sunlight
Plant your Windmill Palm in an area that receives full-partial sun (4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Watering
Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.
Fertilizing
If necessary, apply a slow-release, palm specific fertilizer (granule form or spikes) in the spring, summer and fall.

Just received my windmill, palms a wonderful size. They're healthy. So far, i'm very happy with my plants, and we will see how well they do once I plant them in the ground.
Windmill palm tree
Terrific doing well
Great customer service
One of the trees that we bought slowly died and customer service was on-spot in helping to get it replaced. I am incredibly pleased with the experience.
New Mexico
Planted our 5 Gallon Windmill Palm in Zone 7, New Mexico. I'm interested in how it will do here with the high winds, but I think it's in a great location per the planting recommendations. I planted it where it will receive morning sun and afternoon shade.
Thank you for your help
Wasn't really blaming anyone for it happening. Thank you for being there for me.
