| I just purchased a palm tree in a 3 gallon pot and would like to plant it in my yard. Can anyone tell me the correct dirt to use?
I live in coastal Texas (Brazoria county) and the soil here is mostly thick clay. Thank you. |

| Plant it in the dirt you have. You don't want to dig a hole & fill it with good dirt because the clay soil will act like a bowl and hold water & drown your plant. Mulch around it. They do very good on the coast. Tally HO! |
