Relocating a Foxtail Palm?

16 years ago

Our first gardening challenge at the new house is filling a spot behind the pool with plantings that screen the view from the neighbor's house directly into the wall of glass doors on the back of ours. The former owners put up a 6 foot stockade fence, but it really needs to be 8 feet. Out front, we have a relatively small foxtail palm that is being swallowed by other trees and would like to move it around back to better spot. Anyone have advice about this venture? The trunk is about 5 feet up to the first branching, and altogether it's about 10 feet tall.

Eventually I would like to fill the spot with a specimen collection of hibiscus, but right now we are short on both time and cash so I'm raiding the yard for transplants.

We are also wondering how hard it is to start more areca palms from the copious number of shoots that are coming up from the root masses? There are a few other spots around the yard that could use them.
