Enhancing Post Transplant Success In Palms

At a resort development in Bagan, Myanmar.

Transplanting Borassus flabellifer (Sugar or Toddy Palm) from a farm to the resort for an instant landscape effect. The palms at the farm had their roots burlapped a month beforehand.

The palms would give the reception building in the background a "countryside" look.

Couriered over some rooting hormone (auxin), controlled release fertililser and measuring implements.

 Advised the landscape team there to use one litre bottles to measure out 20 litres or so in a large bucket.

Using my own rooting powder to gauge of the amount to scoop out on the field by the number of tablespoons.

Using a cup with a marking to give a gauge of the amount of fertiliser to be given to each palm on the field.

Workers had no troubles following the instructions.
