What is the survival rate of "Doinkers"? (per MattyB)

I wonder if my C. prestonianus did this.  It had an odd tangled new leaf i freed which helped. I assumed it was the heel and new planting that did it but maybe the "doinker" issue and planting stress are closely related too.  It seems to be recovering but im not convinced yet.

My little Sabal miamensis suffered speerpull after it was planted out. It was my only plant and I had not so much hope that it would form another spear after a long wait. It formed a " doinker" about 25 from the original stem, between grass and it was damaged by the grass mower 😞 ,  but fortunatelly it will recover!
