I got these two plam trees in Statesboro Georgia on the "I'm just a out dead rack".  I transplanted them into 15 gallon grow bags inside a pot. I fertilized them and they started to put new growth out. About 45 days or so.  They get watered once a day for 5 minutes,  & have good drainage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I think they are a fan palm, maybe a Washington palm.

TIA

One looks like it has a viable green spear coming out. The other, not so much. Maybe you could trim away the completely dead fronds to fully expose the viable parts of both palms for diagnosis. I believe the messier palm needs a tug on its spear as a next step. New pictures after clean up will help us help you.

Yes, they appear to be Washingtonia palms. 

Two more images after I peeled back the fronds

Yes, Washingtonias. Red looks viable and needs time and good care. I would trim all remaining dead material away on that one. Blue looks bad. Give the remaining fronds a tug to see if they come out easily. 

I pulled all the fronds that would come off easily.  Let's put it this way,  I didn't put on any gloves which would have given me the ability to pull harder. So, what I pulled off is what you see.

So, any suggestions would help. I'm no expert when it comes to palms. When I saw them I figured I could save them.  

Trim all dead material from the red one. Give it sunshine and water, making sure not to overwater. The blue one looks gone. I don't see a spear. Normally folks here would recommend cutting the trunk, starting top down in increments, until you find viable growth in the center. This would be after a good pull on any visible dead spear or remaining fronds.

Thanks, I'll do all that. I'm going to leave the blue one as is until winter.  If anything changes I'll celebrate,  if not, I'll send it on its way.   Maybe on a road trip to Florida,  I can find someone willing to let me dig one up. They grow like weeds an hour or two from here.  

What zone are you? 

I'm in zone 8A,  50 miles from the coast

The new USDA map has Bulloch County in zone 8b into 9a. Planting the red container palm might be worth a try if you can.

You have a lot of good palm options for your locale 🙂 . @WSimpson is the man for the palms you have now. 

Wow, global warming, hmm. I have citrus planted and doing well. Some of my neighbors have palms. I had a 40" cabbage palm that was planted by someone within 2 feet of the house. I called a few places and they said they wouldn't move it because they couldn't get the equipment close enough and were worried that the roots went under the house. It broke my h eart to have it cut down.  I want UT to get healthy before I move it out into the wild. 

Your zone map looks like the 1990 version. This included the 1970s that were generally cold and the the two record-setting freezes of the mid-1980s. Just put those two robustas outside and water each day. Wait a month or two. Nothing lost at this point.
