sfloethe sfloethe Member Registered: 03/11/08 Posts: 2	Help, I just discovered my queen palm is loose when I push it. It looks more raised at root than my other one but everything else looks ok. I don't know if I need to add soil to root base or what is going on. I is raised about 2 inches above ground level and it dips way in where roots go into soil?? Any help out there. I live in northern CA and it is about 4 years since planted.Thanks

One is raised and was trying to blow over in the wind. We anchored it to a wall because it seemed very healthy other than the raised thing. Digging it and replanting would be a major undertaking needing a crane. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

It is very vulnerable even with soil heaped up around it. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.
