Based on the conditions observed for the palms on site, it seems that the trees are in a dehydrated and weakened state, which significantly impacts its success of transplant. Here are some key points to consider in your decision: 1. Condition Assessment: The site palm's dehydration indicates it may not have sufficient root health or vigor to survive a transplant. Weakened plants are at higher risk of transplant shock and might not establish well in a new location. 2. Transplant Stress: Transplanting a stressed tree can further compromise its health and survival. The stress of uprooting can exceed the tree's ability to recover, especially if it is already in a weakened state. 3. Root System Evaluation: A thorough evaluation of the root system should be conducted. If the roots are limited or damaged due to the current condition, it may not be feasible to provide the necessary care during and after the transplant. 4. Potential for Recovery: Consider whether the tree can be rehabilitated in its current location before deciding to move it. Implementing proper care strategies could help improve its health over time. 5. Replacement Options: Given the risks associated with transplanting a dehydrated palm, recommending replacement is a prudent option. Selecting a healthy specimen will likely yield better long-term results and will be less of a financial burden if the current tree fails to thrive after transplanting. 12All Palms Honorific Page 4 of 4 Warren Miller : Certified Arborist # WE-200IA Qualified Pesticide Applicator License # 147419 California Licensed Contractor # 1006081 6. Economic Considerations: Replacement of the date palm is likely to be more cost-effective in the long run, as it eliminates the risks associated with transplanting a compromised tree. In conclusion, due to the dehydrated and weakened condition of all site palms, it is recommended not to proceed with transplanting at this time. Instead, consider replacing Poor condition palms (Noted on List) with a healthy specimen to ensure optimal growth and health in the landscape. For the rest of the site palms implement a re- hydration program to bring these palms up to the point of health for a successful transplanting. Certified Arborist Warren A . Miller WE 2001-A
