I have a huge sago palm in front of my house. However, whoever planted did
not think of what happens when that cute little plant grows up The trunk
is ~18-24" in diameter. I need to get rid of it. If someone out there
would like to come dig it up and take it, you can have it. Otherwise I will
have to haul it to the dump. I was told that the best time to transplant
them is in Feb.

Email me at with Sago Palm in the subject if you are
interested.

thanks,

About 20 years ago I assisted in salvaging several similarly sized
palms displaced by construction along North MoPac. The construction
company dug them out and laid them down for us. The root ball was
like a turnip and not all that big, but all the dirt was lost.

A group of us dragged these onto a flatbed trailer using a 4-ton
electric winch. This was not an easy job as these palms are heavy.

But a mature palm is a nice asset and someone would want them. If you
could find a recipient. How about a picture on the internet and
calling the local landscape designers?

Oops, these were large yuccas and not palms.
