To Transplant or Not? (Trachy)

[ColumbusPalm]

Hey All,

 

I've been thinking about the move I will be making in the spring back closer to the lake. I think leaving the minors and needle here for the next owners would be ok since they have a decent shot making it unprotected with their size and 2 full seasons in the ground, but my Trachy is almost certainly going to die with new owners. Knowing this, would you try to dig it out and take it to the new place? If so, should I grow in a large pot for a season to get it some vigor and plant the following season? 

 

Of course I want to take it but want to give it the best chance if I do so would love some opinions.

If it's that small trachy just dig it up here in late fall and put it indoors if you can over the winter when temps are below 25F or so.

That’s probably the best idea so I don’t lose a season. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you do dig it up, remember that the roots ned to stay "warm"

or the palm will never recover.
