Trachy root systems are usually quite small. They are similiar to Rhodos.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks Aaron, the bloody thing keeps putting out frond after frond, with no sign of slowdown 😯

BTW how've things recovered around your place since the wildfire?
Thank God your place was spared, but how are the neighbors doing?

"Trachy root systems are usually quite small. They are similiar to Rhodos."

Trachycarpus root systems are much deeper than Rhododendron. It's quite likely (and almost enevitable) your palm will suffer a setback or shock from being unearthed. The newest exploritory roots will be damaged or severed during the process. Personally I'd opt for a framework enclosure or some such device to overwinter your palm.

Cheers, Barrie.

You make a good point about severing the roots Barrie.
AAAAARGH! 😕
I know I won't sleep at night if it's not in a pot indoors!
Will again consider all those good suggestions.
