Our old Trachy.........

Isn't it easy to be wise after the event!

Good luck with the newly planted one :o)

It does look a monster weight...hope you are successful with its replacement. Good luck!

What a shame , I hope your replacement does as well Dd , I'm sure having a garden room to use all the year round will more than make up for it ... :o)

Meanie I was so cross though......Thanks TT, Whiston it is in the jungle and I have a replacement one in the garden room, taking no chance this time....
Amy it was the best alteration we ever did.

Wow Thats lovely Dotty.....

It was Milky...........lol

I guess that what is done is done. Imagine having a garden room built around this!!! We can dream can't we!

Lovely big specimen. You are a brave lady DD2, because I couldn't dig out such a great plant..... Hope you have the same luck with your replacement :-)

Thanks Louis......

we saw a program on palms and cati being moved in america, a garden company which sold them and replanted in gardens, hard work but amazing how they settle,

Dottydaisy2:

Most palms move very easily. The root can be easily cut and most will regenerate pretty quickly. They can be very heavy though. (I once moved a 13ft/4 meters tall Chamaerops humilis with 3 other guys -- it weighed a ton!)

How old was this palm? Here this palm usually takes about 5 years to grow this tall from a gallon size.
