Palms have a single taproot. Dig around the base and push sideways to
crack and remove them. Then fill in the hole.


HUH? Palms have no taproot whatsoever. They have what could be described
as a "bulb" of small feeder roots. Palms are monocots; they don't do the
dicot/pine tree thing.


Yeah, I meant the bulb being the only root system, no large lateral
trunk roots coming out in all directions. Dig down a bit, rock the
trunk, and lift.

P.S: Are monocots anything like finger cots?
