Moving Cabbage Palms

A couple of weeks ago the crew moved two cabbage palms as part of a landscape renovation I designed.  I got there in time to video the removal of the second palm.  A royal Poinciana Tree will be the new showcase of this front yard in a few years. 




Moving the palms was pretty slick.  First they go around the fiberous root ball with a trencher which neatly slices the roots into a tight cube.  A padded sling on the skid loader is attached to the palm, the loader does most of the work gently rocking the tree back and forth easing the dirt away.  And next there you have it popped out and ready to place in a new location.
