IS there a way to transplant this? Someone would love it I am sure before we take to the chainsaws on this beauty???
I had a Canary Palm trasplanted that was becoming a problem because of its expanding canopy. It wasn't as large as yours and was quite an undertaking. Preparing it for the transplant entailed extensive ground preparation. After it was moved it didn't grow for two or three years but remained healthy. Used S. McGowan and was very happy with their service.

A Canary as large as yours may be too problematic to move but who knows? Good luck.
