If you've ever noticed, when palm trees are planted or even transplanted by a nursery, they never have much of a root ball.
I think we tend to think of them as trees and picture really large root balls.

Those replanted palms should be okay as long as they are watered frequently.

They should not be fertilized.
Nothing field dug (as in not from a pot) should ever be newly fertilized.

Keep your fingers crossed that they survive.
