I'm sure it can stay in the pot for another year. I did that with most of my palms I had been collecting for years. It's very exciting to get moved into a new place and start planting stuff you already have.

I used a dolly to move my large palms like that. If you get some wheels under it then it will be easy to move.

Try using a hand truck. A dolly is usually some kind of platform on 4 wheels.

If you don't have a dolly or a truck, tip the pot back a bit and slide a strong shovel underneath. You can then drag it  on the shovel, I have moved palms in pots of over 200lt with this method.. Any Idea what part of the country you are moving to?
