I’d always assumed they couldn’t be transplanted at that size, and with such small root balls, I thought they were very root sensitive.

Either way, they’ll look great once established. Bizzy’s always look great.

Almost any palm can be transplanted if the nurseryman has sufficient knowledge and skill.  The more difficult species are slowly root pruned a little at a time. Some of these will "bleed" from the roots so pruning needs to be slower.  That kind of knowledge takes experience, its usually best left to professionals.

Looks like Rocky Point in Tampa? I've always liked that little island, it should have a pretty solid microclimate (not that it is needed for a bizzy.)

I may have misspoken about that microclimate. I drove through today and the coconut at the Westin is looking rough. It should live but there's not much green on it right now. :(

I know the ones you're talking about. Out of all the coconuts I know of in Tampa, those took the least damage after 2010-2011 winter.
