Transplanting Needle Palm?

Last April I planted a good sized 7 or 10 gallon needle palm.  This spring I would like to move it to another location for purely aesthetic reasons.   I hear palms in general do not like to be transplanted. What are the chances I could damage the plant by moving it.  Are there any specific things I should do when transplanting?

 

Thanks

I think it would be ok.  Would just disturb it a bit.

I agree - just try to get a good sized rootball which shouldn't be too difficult since it has only been in the ground for a year.  I've not personally transplanted a needle palm but have successfully transplanted Butia, Washingtonia, Livistona, Phoenix, Acrocomia, mule palm, etc. without issue.  The only cold hardy palms that I can think of that do not transplant well are Brahea armata, Brahea clara, Bismarckia nobilis and Sabal species with less than 4 feet of trunk.  Now is a good time for the transplant since the ground is warming up.

I have a needle I dug up and replanted on a bad hill.  It isn't thriving 2 years later, but it's surviving. 

God bless America...

and everywhere else too.

I've transplanted small needles numerous times with no issues.
