How hard is it to remove a Trachycarpus Fortunei 5ft

[flounder]

Good job. Shame you're bent over double from all that digging and won't be able to look up to it for a couple of weeks

lol

That should keep for two or three years in that barrel - which should be just time enough for your back to recover before repotting/replanting again

Plant doing well it survived the transplant as getting the flower pods coming out now in total about 13 of them

Others may disagree but I would remove the flowers ASAP as they will be using up a lot of the palms energy rather than producing new roots.

Line the hole with some coir matting or a large hanging basket liner

Can you elaborate please GB?

Do the roots grow through this, or are restrained by it, or some other purpose perhaps?

99% of the people on this forum did not grow their Trachycarpus Fortunei with a coir under it.

I personally would advise against it as it could make the roots lazy.

Interesting topic this, every one has there own way of doing things, none of it right or wrong! It`s what works for you!
