Several folks have said the same thing about "rapid growth" of the palms but my reading and my observations don't agree.
I planted several small palms about a year ago and some died others had little growth. I have been watching several properties for sale on the south end which planted young palms and have seen little growth from them as well.
I guess if you live there and tend to the palms some they thrive but if you plant and leave it seems that little happens.
I have a back yard full of transpalnted palms here. They are not coconut though as coconuts will not survive here. I have Sabal, Pindo, Afgan and more here which are all "cold hardey" palms that I transplanted. My Sabals were HUGE when I had them brought from Houston TX but again I was here to tend to them which may make the main differnece in transplant success.
I'm sure I'll need someone to plant them and tend them until they are established.

I use Mycor Palm Saver on my palms.
Is that the "special fertilizer" your referring to?

Yes, I have holes on my property which clearly are dig outs from larger palms that have been "relocated" from my land to someone else's property.
With the south AC watch program and south police substation I hope this type of relocation of palms will be reduced. At least they will have to boat the trees away or drive right past the police substation with them and hopefully have to account for them there.
With me not being there this is a major concern. I want to plant soon though so that there's time for these trees to mature.

True but I want to line the property now and my new palapa as it will be some time before I build our home.
No new plants in the future construction areas.
