Transplating Queen Palms


Question
QUESTION: Hi Nick- I am putting in a pool and have several queen palms (~3 years old) that need to be moved.  Can queen palms be successfully tranplanted after that long of a time?  If so, what are the tips for success in removing and then replanting the trees?

ANSWER: Hi Alysia, how big are they? this is the determining factor.....:)

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: I have: One ~9 feet tall, one is ~8ft, one is ~7.5ft, one ~6ft and a fifth is ~5ft.  

Answer
Ok, the smaller 3 should be no problem, just make sure you get the entire root ball; the 2 big girls however may need professional help, if they are to survive, and that would be a landscaper with a bobcat or some type of mechanized shovel, that can lift and move a large root ball that is heavy and can't be moved by hand. The bottom line, is after they are moved, constant irrigation for several weeks will be the key...good luck! Nick
