thanks for explaining how you transplant a big palm . I just bought and transplanted a big washingtonia robusta and a chamaerops humilis at my new place . No homestead but definitely outside the urban grid on a bit of land. Homesteading is a great plan nowadays for becoming self-sufficient and independent . Good luck !
I’m digging up a 10’ Windmill palm tomorrow with just three guys and shovels. I didn’t realize the palms were that heavy. Is digging and transplanting a tree that size doable without machinery?
Some suggestions: This is not a P. dactylifera. It looks much more like some P. sylvestris hybrid. And even when just transplanting, digg a bigger hole than the rootball at the new spot and mix some soil that is suited for the specific species. This gives it a much better start after transplanting. The older the plants are, the more stress it is for them to be transplanted and they can actually decline after a couole of years, if there is not so much of a good soil underneath the root ball. Didn't know the difference with Sabal palm roots, so thank you for that! Cheers! 🌴
Probably not unprotected. I think Atlanta is a borderline 7b/8a, and I think the sylvester is at best a 9a. Maybe with a good microclimate and decent protection it could survive.
It's not a dactylifera. It's clearely a phoenix sylvestris!!! Look again at it's dense foliage, the leaflets & the trunk's colors & it's slimmer thickness!!! Also nowhere any shacker on the base!!! Clearely a sylvestris, the most beautiful & dense canopy date palm, both with phoenix theophrastii.
It s Phoenix sylvestris and not dactylifera. Not good way to transplant it. You have first to cut some palms and to close the Palm tree crown for 3 weeks. Please try to learn Latin name of trees it s more smart
Agreed. No water soaking in the days before extraction, new hole badly prepared, no water prep to the bottom of the hole, barely adequate watering after the move. An amateur attempt.

Lucky chickens!! I love loquats! You guys should do a video on growing them too!
Great video. I agree that people are doing too much clear cutting and not replacing or transplanting native plants. Keep Florida Green!
GOOD STUFF....JUST LIKED & SUBCRIBED👍
You did great.
I always thought of a tree spade
Super informative! Thank u bro!

Didn’t know to cut the sable back like that. Thanks
Surely adding water before digging it out would be beneficial for its removal and survival
Great info
It's a beautiful tree. Good job.
Absolutely stunning specimen
You surely feel for plants
it looked more like a P. sylvestris.
nice job pal, what if u want to transplant this size of tree where no machine can go in...like courtyard..hope can give some idea
We would use a crane to hoist the tree you can sub contract one for around 500 dollars for 3 hours.

Great content as always!
How about transplanting "Fishtail" Palms? I'm in WPB, FL..... Don't own a bobcat, but can operate one if available for rent
Thank you
Do you fix plantings that are too shallow? How may I contact you?
That's stable enough without staking? Hmmm?
Great video, do you think the Sylvester palm would survive in the Atlanta area
Probably not unprotected. I think Atlanta is a borderline 7b/8a, and I think the sylvester is at best a 9a. Maybe with a good microclimate and decent protection it could survive.
thank you for this video. What is the estimate cost to transplant palm trees? Do you work in La Quinta (92253)?
$600-$1500 any bigger 20’ up $2500-$8000 give me a call ☎️
Looks like phoenix silvestris

I like turtles!!
People are so dumb when it comes to property lines their true self comes out lol

Yes, thank you. I concur fully.
it’s not a tree by the way
That is horrible tree move sorry....

don't cut off green leaves, it's unhealthy for them.
Always remove leaves when transplanting. Otherwise the energy all goes to the leaves rather than rebuild roots
I've read of people advocating the removal of ALL fronds during transplanting
