I have this Dypsis saintelucei at my old house that I'm preparing to put on the market. I want to remove this one and bring down to my new property. I'm hoping these are close to D lutescens to move. Does anyone know or have experience/ideas?

Can't seem to load any pictures. It keeps coming up with an error message.

I had two pics, one of 4.3mb and the other at 2.7mb. Is that too big. Never had this problem before.

Tyrone,

Sorry, can't help you much on the St. Lucie. Regarding the pictures, 8mb seems to be the limit at one time. So depending on the size, sometimes I can post 2 at a time, sometimes not. What's weird is that once I get that error message, unless I go back to the main menu, re-access the topic, & go again to reply, I can't post another picture even if it's well below the set limits. It's a bit annoying even for a dinosaur like me.

Sorry mate, I cant help with transplant info.  Regarding posting pics though, I never post large files because opening a page full of large files takes too damn long, so at  a combined 7mgb maybe the files are too big for one post?  I always use compressed files, then I can insert 5-10 pics per post   Here's a few pics of one of my Dypsis Saintelucie - file size is 276kb & 220kb with no loss a quality.

Looking good there Steve!

Ty, I haven't seen a Dypsis yet that can't be transplanted with care, although it might be a bit tougher in your cooler climate down there

Thanks Daryl. Luckily we are bang on at the beginning of the growth season down here. We are a good 7 months before he hit the possibility of frost. It will be put into a semi protected area. I do have access to a crane to lift it. If it was in a bag it would be in a 100-150L size bag. If I can get a good bit of dirt with it I'm in with a chance. I have to leave my decipiens behind though. After consulting here I reckon the decipiens has a 90% chance of death if I tried lifting it without taking about a 500L chunk of earth with it. 

As for the pic I will try resizing it somehow. All the new phones take such huge pics nowadays.

Here it is before I dug it out. It's now in a 200L bag and will require an engine crane and 4m flatbed trailer to get it 400km down to its new home.

Judging by how often my weak-rooted 7 gal. size plants keep getting blown over and keep on ticking, I would guess it's a pretty easy transplant! Gorgeous specimen!

Here it is planted. I used an engine crane to lift it on and off of the flat bed trailer. It hasn't set back. Hopefully it will grow.
