Tempting, yes, but probably futile.
The ones I dug from a friends' garden last month are suffering major transplant shock now. The seedlings with one strap leaf are all OK, but the older ones are looking bad. I expect only one will make it. Much as this cheap-skate hates to say it, it pays to buy container palms. Or grow them from seed ( have a bunch of Sabal from last year....)

Erik, I completly agree when it comes to s. minors. I learned the hard way.

When digging up any sabal from the wild they really need to be almost hurricane cut to ease the shock. It can be done but you also need to be very careful digging. One nip on the growth bud under ground and your finished.
