Default Plumeria transplanting

My neighbor has a Plumeria growing in-between some King palms and wants to dig it out. Oh, the best thing is that she says I can have the Plumeria.
I have several Plumeria's, but they are in pots, or small in-ground.
She wants to know if the Plumeria's root system will allow her to dig it out without damaging either it, or the King's?
Thanks for any help!!!

Default Re: Plumeria transplanting

I have two lying on the ground right now that I pulled up, now I'm trying to decide where to put them
Grab it at the base and pull it straight up. A four or five footer will probably come up with a foot or so of rootball. I move these around all the time
Sometimes you get a stubborn one but you can dig around it to sever the roots, just be careful of course with the angle of the blade, if its really close to the palm cut it at an angle like a starburst from the palm, keep the blade pointing at the palm, not too perpendicular, so you dont cut all its roots if you have to. Then if the plumeria still won't come up. you can use your digging bar to wedge it up after that.

But these are pretty easy to do by hand till they get maybe 7-8'.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too much of a problem...I can't believe you haven't had to root prune the ones you keep in containers at least once, LOL
