    Hello, can someone tell me when I should plant a Trachycarpus Fortunei - Chusan Palm? It is currently in a container but I have been asked to eventually transplant it into the ground. Thanks Adam

    I'd get it in the ground as soon as you can, asd, so that it has time to establish its root system before winter. Make sure you tease out the roots when you plant, so that they don't carry on circling as they did in the pot.

    Thank you. I've also heard best time is the Spring as well, so it has a whole year to settle in before winter.
