Duh! I planted this sago in the wrong spot. Now I want to transplant it to my front yard. It measures about 6' across and 3 1/2' tall. I don'[t have any experience with sago's (or I wouldn't have planted it where I did in the first place) and have a few questions.

1. Do sago's of this size transplant well?
2. Is there anything I should do in advance to prep it for transplant shock?
3. I'll get as much of the root ball as I can, but how much will be enough?
4. What do you recommend I do to prep the soil in the new spot?
5. Anything else I should be asking?

Note: The trench is for the electrical service to the BBQ I'm building.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘...Holy Crap ...What a ride!'
