The Largest Triple-Trunk Medjool Date Palm Tree Ever Transplanted and Installed In Houston, Texas
By Palm Professionals Company

1.   First, We Have To Close The Roads And Reroute All Traffic. It Is Considered An Oversized Load Because It Takes Up Two Lanes Of The Road. Police Escorts Are Necessary In Certain Locations When Travelling Across The United States With This Kind Of Size. The Medjool Date Palm Tree Is On The Delivery Truck And Finally Arrived In Front Of Its Destination In Houston, Texas.

2.   The Medjool Date Palm Is Being Prepared For The Crane To Lift It And Move It To Another Separate Truck And Trailer. We Have To Move The Tree To A Different Style Trailer With The Axles Located Further Forward In Order For Us To Be Able To Turn The Tight Radius Into The Driveway.

3.   The Crane Is Lowering The Medjool Date Palm On To The Other Truck And Trailer To Prepare For Entering The Premises. After The Medjool Date Palm Tree Is Moved On To This New Truck, The Crane Will Have To Be Moved Inside The Premises And Set Up All Over Again.

4.   The Existing Hardwood Trees Needed To Be Lifted Up And Shored Up To A Higher Elevation To Allow The Medjool Date Palm Enough Overhead Clearance To Pass Underneath.

5.   The Crane Is Now Set Up For The Second Time Inside Of  The Premises. The Crane Will Begin Transferring The Medjool Date Palm From The Trailer And Setting It Into The Hole. The Tree Has To Be Precisely Placed In Order To Allow Us Space To Straighten The Tree In The Next Step. We Only Have A 2 Foot Space Between The Trunk And The Roof Of The Residence

6.   Crucial Step...The Tree Is Now In The Hole But Needs To Be Aligned And Straightened. We Have To Move Only The Top Of The Tree With The Roots Already Bound Into The Hole. Considering The Size And Magnitude Of This Tree, If This Is Not Done With Extreme Caution, The Tree Trunks Will Break. Especially When Handling Multi-Trunk Medjool Date Palm Trees Of This Size.

7.   The Spotter (Designated Person That Watches The Tree Movement) Is Located In Front Of The Medjool Date Palm Tree. His Job Is To Make Sure That The Tree Doesn't Shift Or Move After We Perform Our Special Soil Amendments And Backfill The Root Zone Of The Tree. He Will Watch For Any Movement As We Slowly Release The Tension From The Crane Straps And Riggings That Lead To The Trunks.

8.   Undo The Block And Release The Crane. Complete Removing The Assembled Structure That Supported All Three Trunks During Transportation Across The United States. The Medjool Date Palm Installation Is Complete.
