It’s been a good run.  5 years in the ground here in MA zone 6A.  We are moving to 5B 1300.’  The timing is really bad but they will be stored in a cool garage until March.  Fingers crossed.

Good luck. That's a lot of work to move those. Then again, I am sure you have put a lot of work into keeping them alive. I hope your plan works out for you.

Fingers crossed!  How hard was it to get into truck?

Hopefully your new place has a heated basement with a good southern exposure side to plant on that's protected from the wind . That's dedication!

Good luck 🤞

@AllenNot terrible.  I slowly pulled them out with my truck and then used a tree dolly and ramps.  I have them balled and burlaped in a garage that gets cold but doesn’t freeze.  Wondering if I can leave them dry for a few months.  I never watered in the winter when they were in the ground but different scenario.

I would give them some water every couple weeks - once month.  Watch fronds and make sure they don't fold up
