Hi rsieminski, every one means well here. I truly understand your situation as I was in a similar one years ago. My other business picked up so much I had no time to care for my 3/4 acre nursery of really nice stuff. They include well over 100+ big 5-10ft Cycas clivicola of which some over 1,000yrs old. It broke my heart to give them all to a friend. It took his crew two whole weeks to take all the plants away.
Just give it a shot and have others remove them. 'Naners are tough enough to take some rough handling. Maybe you should put out some conditions like a minimum number for each person to take in a given time frame. That way, you can clear them faster.
All the best.
