Butia capitata, care for new palm?

Hi,
 
My new Butia, nearly 2m tall in its pot, has been kept in a shady, sheltered position in the nursery.  Any advice on getting my palm established in an open, sunny (until 3pm 'ish) location. It is about to flower, should I remove the flower stems?
 
When transplanting Washingtonias and Pheonix' here in Spain, all the leaves are tied up to assist establishment.  This would be rather difficult to do with a Butia...
 
Kind regards,
 
Maria
