Palm Tree

[SweetDreams]

Preparing to remove an 8ft Palm tree in my garden, would anyone be interested in taking it?

Open to offers

Pick up in Anerley,

Hi Peter

It's a Cordyline australis common name Torbay palm, but it's not really a palm tree.

Unfortunately they don't tolerate transplanting at this size.

Cordyline have a large, downward growing central taproot. You would need to get this out pretty much intact to enable the tree to survive in it's new place.

I've moved them at 8 feet, and sometimes chopped their heads off completely, after the initial shock they'll sprout roots from anywhere and regrow multiple heads.(Have air layered them also). I also was given the cordylines from the Goose Green roundabout before the palm was planted.

They are also called Cornish Palms where they stick it out with nothing between them and America but the Atlantic gales. Many a gorse bush has given up the ghost with that situation.

Worth a go.
