Soil amendments aren t really necessary.Beware of the sharp teeth on the palm s leaf stems.

Washingtonia care

If planting in a row, place them at least 6 feet apart.For using along a drive, come out at least 5 or 6 feet so the young palm s wide crown isn t in the way.This palm is too fast and too big to make a good container plant.
