    Only a true palm lover can go to such extremes to save a tree/palm considering how much skill and effort is required to actually do that. Hats off to you people and God bless you for such a lovely effort ❤️

      That’s a different way to think about it. I wouldn’t think it was worth doing all that back breaking work for a palm tree.

    It’s amazing how a 30’ palm tree can have roots that are only 2-3’ long yet they are often times the only things left standing after a hurricane. With such a small root ball you’d think that someone would be able to push them over.

      Palm roots are very long, they just grow outward. Very few root grow downward. Once you cut a ring around it it’s pretty much free.

    I am literally LOL over you using your car, i like it, very inventive and resourceful, you have made my day. thanks. Also You must be very fit, that is a hell of a lot of digging! no need for you to go to the gym! i bought a very small cordyline? cabbage palm when i didn't know much about plants, my 'garden' is only a small patio about 6 feet by 8 feet, and I can only have a few small container plants, when i bought it i didn't know it would grow into a very tall tree, i need to put it into a very large container as I think it is becoming pot bound in the container that it is presently in, i'm trying to search into how to do that and i stumbled across your video. it has just flowered so mama might be having some babies soon.
