How To Plant Pindo Palm
If you plan on potting your palm tree, keep in mind you'll need to repot it every other year - be sure to increase the pot size by two inches every time. This will give your palm plenty of space for its roots to spread. If you are planting in the ground, choose a location where this palm can sun bathe all day long—they love the sun. They can tolerate just about any soil type but prefer any kind that is well-draining. Dry and hot climates are tolerated but shade and adequate moisture will be needed.
How To Water
Once established, these palm trees will be drought tolerant. After initial planting of your new palm, it will need frequent watering to get comfortable in its new home. Base your watering schedule around the average rainfall in your area.
How To Fertilize
Feed your palm two or three times between spring and fall, we recommend using our Elements Starter Plant Food in granular form around the base of your palm and water it in. This way, the nutrients are delivered right into the root system!
How To Prune
Palm trees will need very little pruning. Remove the browning fonds and old fruits, this may be done at any time of the year.

Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
