In order to keep domestic harmony in my home I was recently "persuaded" to relocate one of my favorite and happiest palms. I consulted many "experts" on the process of moving a large well rooted Rhopie and most told me I was wasting my time (and considerable effort). So after several weeks of root pruning and talking story with it, three weeks ago I finally popped it out of the ground.post-978-047827800 1305501551_thumb.jpg And here for scale is my faithful companion "Hilo" supervising of coarse.post-978-051017400 1305501575_thumb.jpg

Its been relocated from full ( Western) mid day and afternoon sun, to Morning Sun With afternoon shade.post-978-046296200 1305501790_thumb.jpgpost-978-061916100 1305501815_thumb.jpg I have been hesitant to post the move, hoping for the best, but fearing it might just sit there and have a slow death. However, recently I was informed about the "3 inch rule", so I have been watering and waiting and measuring and today ( 18 days post transplant) the new spear has pushed 3 1/2 inches since the move.post-978-069780200 1305501995_thumb.jpg Yeah!!!!!!

Andrew,I've seen a lot of palms over the years transplanted (usually in haste) that will push the spear 1 or 2 inches... then no more. eventually brown and die. I have yet to see a transplanted one push 3" or more and die from the transplant... something MAY happen a couple years later, but those problems have been attributed to something post transplant.

Looks great!

Hmm. The rhopie would have gotten tall enough in time to have the ocean view . . .

BUT!

Harmony is a nice thing, and it looks like no one is the worse (too much) for wear.

That really is a rockin' Rhopie! I went out and gave mine a hug . . . . . :lol:

Guys ( and Gals) I know we are all in this together when it comes to adding to the garden, a few stray pots and a new one or two isn't so easily noticed, thats why I try and have a couple dozen always siting around various parts of the yard. NOT a container ranch mind you like some people have, "just a few" that are always being acclimatized. :lol::lol:

It took less than 8 weeks to pass the "3" inch rule on the existing spear

There really is not timeline other than similar to the growth rate of what it was prior to relocation. That being said I have been to lazy to dig a palm that started growing again well over a year later, then stop. For me it's primarily palms that require a lot of heat which I don't have.
