A homeowner asks how to transplant a 23-foot fishtail palm.
Nick strongly advises hiring a professional with heavy equipment (e.g., a Bobcat). The root system is too extensive for manual digging, and the crown cannot survive with a reduced root ball. Attempting this yourself will likely kill the palm.
Research local landscapers experienced in large palm transplanting. Get quotes and check references before proceeding.
