On August 11th one of our palm trees finally sold. We have been waiting for years to have these tree's removed. It was such an interesting experience to see the palm removed. On the 10 the company sent out a team of three guys who literally dug out the palm tree by hand. They were armed with just their shovels. They even climbed the tree with ropes to trim it up to a nice "pineapple" look. The next morning the team that was taking the tree out of the ground came. 45 minutes later it was loaded on a truck and on it's way to San Francisco. We found out the the tree weighed in at 17000 lbs!
They were able to lay that 37 foot palm tree right between our purple plum and our fence!

This is what the roots of a palm tree look like. I didn't know what I was expecting them to look like, but they are very fibrous.
Loaded and on it's way
