Best time and way to transplant Cycad revoluta?

[dalmatiansoap]

I have two growing on bad location in ground and I'm thinking to transplant them. Some internet advices are to do it during winter dormancy and other suggest to wait early summer. I'm in Mediterranean climate zone 9, European style 😂. Anyone with experience with advice?

@dalmatiansoap I've moved about 7 or 8 trunking Revoluta at various times of the year.  Of course here in central Florida it's never cold enough to significantly damage a Revoluta, so timing isn't too critical here.  Personally I'd wait until after the last "big cold front" of the year and then move them.  So for example, tonight is the last major cold front that I expect to hit central Florida, and this week will be relatively cool in the 50s and 60s.  Most likely I'll start planting or transplanting things next week.

They seem to be very resiliant in general. The way they are produced is already tough so I think if there is no further frost or they haven't been damaged by cold or drought they should transplant fine just now.
