Planting date palms: the first 45–60 days on site.

George Nottingham, Groundworks’ founder and president, delivered this presentation for a Rainbow Ecoscience Green Industry Seminar held at Mounts Botanical Gardens in West Palm Beach, in association with UF/IFAS. The original Groundworks page identifies landscape architects, designers, and installation contractors as its intended audience.

Carry the handoff forward

Keep the people and the observations connected.

Installation record

Keep the specimen information, placement details, installation date, and agreed care instructions together.

Responsible contact

Identify who will observe the palms, manage irrigation, and communicate a change in conditions.

Visible response

Use dated photographs and site notes to make changes easier to explain to the team.

A general presentation does not replace the instructions agreed for a specific installation. Contact Groundworks when the palm’s response or the surrounding conditions differ from the plan.
