I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Out of curiosity, do they transplant well?

 

I think the sample margin of trunking ones is too small to know. But trunking Dypsis as a whole are I think better than 50/50 chance.. maybe 70% chance of success?

I like how you guys were that confident that you didn’t even need to move the containers/palms surrounding it. Pretty impressive.

I clicked through to watch the placement video, too.  I'm assuming you bury the rootball and soak the whole thing?  Put a drip line on it to constantly give water for a couple months until roots re-establish?  I'm now very curious to see how this turns out!

Thanks for posting these. Great videos and I’m so glad the palm found a new home.

and to think....I feel it’s a lot of work to plant a 15 gallon plant. :blink2:

It's such an amazing and rare tree, especially at that size. Thank you for doing this plant rescue.  That can't have been an inexpensive undertaking, but it is for a good cause. 

Some speculate that dypsis decipiens do not transplant well, so this is a big experiment.  Many palmtalk followers will be watching anxiously over the next couple of years as it takes root... or not.   Fingers crossed for a successful transplant!

 

  Is its new location also near Modesto?

Yes, I too won't complain about planting anything bigger than a 1-gal pot! Now I just have to wait 20+ years for my D. decipiens to look like that! :bummed: At least mine aren't too close to the roof line.

Man that’s a shame Jeff. Absolutely beautiful palm. My garden is so young and I’m such a Palm noob I can’t even begin to think what it’s like having to remove a palm after 22 years.
