Can suckers be removed and replanted?

Is it possible to take these out and plant them in a different place? Are they attached to the same root system and trunks or are they separate. I’ve tried pulling on some and they feel so strongly attached to whatever is below. These are under two european fan palms. It seems like a waste to keep killing them off I wish you could just replant the new ones somewhere else. Anyone know if you can actually replant them?

You can root suckers from Chamaerops but unfortunately not at the size of yours.  I have tried a couple of times without success with small suckers.  I was advised that the suckers should have trunks about the size of a 1-liter bottle in diameter (or larger) and already have roots attached to be successful.  Since they don't grow fast it will probably take a while for them to get to that size.  I prefer them with a solitary look so I just cut off the suckers as they appear.

Thank you for the advice I really appreciate it.

What type of tools and technique would be used in such a task? It seems like it could be a somewhat delicate procedure, for not only survival of the offset, but the parent palm as well.

Use of a sharp tool like a roof mutt in order to make a clean cut will reduce the possibility of a fungal infection.  Similar technique to what is used in Phoenix dactylifera and cycad offset removal.  Using powdered sulfur on the parent palm will help with the healing process.
