Need info on Bismark Palms

I just received a dozen Bismark Palms in 15 gal. pots. Am in search for information on soil and fertilizer needs for these palms. If anyone has, or knows where I can look for info, please let me know...
Thanks,
Jack.......

Jack, I posted a picture in the Gallery of me standing next to a good sized Bismarckia nobilis growing in Houston, TX. It is a beautiful palm and although folks along the subtropical TX Gulf coast can grow them, it's out ot the question for Austin unless GH protected. They are VERY expensive to buy in TX. Congratulations on your buy

Nice pic Bob. I don't think I've ever seen that one before.
