Dylan,
that's great! Brahea are beautiful palms--much nicer than Washingtonia IMO.
Here's a naive question: do you have to dig them up? Could you just let them grow there a while longer, perhaps with some mulch, and frost cloth tossed over for the coldest nights? I really don't know; just a thought. From the little I know, Brahea supposedly don't like root disturbance. --Erik

Erik,

I could leave them in the ground longer. We don't have to worry much about the cold here, however space is very limited. I don't know how much longer my parents will tolerate palms and other plants poping up all over the place. I thought it would be better to dig up the palms while they are small and have not grown too much.
