What is B and B in the palm and tree world? It means BAG and BALL.
Okay, so what does that mean?
If there are very large trees, normally, in transplanting it is easier and safer if the trees are wrapped in plastic or burlap when they are dug. When we Bag them, the earth is damp and it preserves the moisture during transportation and planting. It is also actually easier to manoeuvre around planters or buildings to the hole.
Originally, the bag was a burlap type and burried to decompose. Now, we use plastic to protect the moisture and roots.
We have sent many B and B palms to South Carolina and it's easier on the other end to remove them from the trucks.
The big specimens in boxes, they have to be gigantic boxes. are expensive which translates into more cost for the customer. And, it is better for them to root a bit in the boxes for awhile. The problem with many boxed specimen is this; Craning them up can rip their roots sending the tree or palm into distress. Many boxed trees have established root systems through the bottom of the boxes.
Digging, wrapping and out is a better and more successful process in transplanting.

A great way to propagate a Sago palm is through its offshoots. Sago palms along with other palms like the date palm and ponytail palm, produce offshoots known as pups. There is a technique though, for ensuring that the separation and transplantation are successful.
Here are some tips that will help you safely separate the pup:
Try to separate during warmer weather. It's ideal to separate the pup during the springtime with summer coming up.
Make a clean cut! Use a sharp knife or cutting tool to carefully separate the pup from the mother tree while being mindful to not damaging the roots. Make sure the pup comes away with enough intact roots. I know it may sound like a broken record when it comes to the roots but they really are key in transplant survival!
Give the pup a haircut. Remove the leaves from the pup until it is bare. Don't worry, they will grow back again!
Tips for transplanting and growing your Sago pup:
CALL GREGORY PALM FARMS FOR ALL YOU PALM NEEDS.
Give the pup a break before planting. Allow the pup to dry out in a shady area for a week in order to give it a chance to allow the cut to dry. This reduces the risk of rot when it is planted.
Use a bigger pot. Make sure when choosing a pot, to go with one that is at least 2 inches larger than the diameter of the pup.
Use good soil that has a sandy mixture. Make sure that it has good drainage. Add small rocks to the bottom of the container. Once the pot is filled about two-thirds of the way, give it a good watering.
Plant the pup halfway into the soil. Set the pup on top in the middle of the pot and push down until it is halfway covered by soil. Be careful not to push down too much because the pup may rot. On the other hand, not pushing down enough will inhibit the roots from growing.
Only water when the soil is dry! Too much watering will cause the pup to rot.
Make sure the pup is big enough before transplanting. A good rule of thumb is to make sure the pup has been growing for at least two years. This ensures good root development on the pup. Removing the pup too soon will decrease the chances of the pup surviving the transplanting. Not sure how old the pup is? You can check its roots by removing some of the dirt from around the pup. The more roots, the better!
Have the area you want to plant the pup planned out ahead of time. Keep in mind that although the sago is slow growing, it does need its space. Faster growing, neighboring plants can crowd out the sago if there is not enough room.
I hope these tips help make things easier when it comes to separating and transplanting your sago pup. There are lots of videos out there that are helpful in showing you the different steps so don't be intimated by the process.
