ravenea xerophila trans plant dig

I just wanted to post some progressive photos of a couple very large ravenea xerophila I dug up last month. It seems that they are really starting to push new growth. 

I was very optimistic that these would survive the dig. I did manage to get a good size root ball but the amount of carrot sized tap roots I had to cut through was terrifying to say the least.

I have read and have been told that all I need to see is at least 3 inches of new growth on the emerging spear and I will be out of the woods. I'm not sure exactly how true that theory so I wanted to know your thoughts. so far so good on my end I guess?
