Awesome. Soooo happy to see people caring enough to save a part of local history in the form of trees. and as a bonus, more dates.

Really great video Jake, I am glad to see the trees being saved!

OMG,,, what a beautiful neighborhood,,so glad the trees were saved!! Soooo Beautiful! too bad all weren't saved

Great video... so glad to see those trees saved! Thanks for filming the process Jake.

keep us updated, i would love to see how well grandma transplants. Maybe in a few years the roots will touch the others around her.

I have a pretty cool uncle, his house is way cool it looks like a forest in the middle of the dessert. He definitely knows his trees!

Really cool to see the tree saved and rehomed rather than it being cut down. I know some people wouldn't care.

That is INCREDiBLE, Jake! What a cool morning you must have had. This is one of my favorite videos that you have done! You did a great job with it. I'm going to be so jealous if you get one, LOL!

THANK YOU for filming this and thank JOHN HANCOCK for choosing saving trees as his occupation, I could tell he is a super nice man (so are you). Those men use those machines like part of their arms! AMAZING JOB.

What a unique and fabulous neighborhood. I'm glad you folks took the time and had the know how to move and keep that tree.

I was at the edge of my seat when watching! Great Video!

That tree is an absolute treasure! Priceless! I'm totally floored someone would cut one down. Cool video

Great preservation ....save the palms... beautiful place in the world .... keep it that way....power to the people

you're a cool dude! you inspire me to do kung fu, eat healthier, and start a garden when I'm older.

That was so beautiful to watch. Thanks for that Jake!

Thank God that she's going to save them!😊

Erica the tree rescuer!

Im sad that the old trees got cut down with no reguard for their age. This makes my heart happy to see the other trees saved and rehomed. Never seen one of those giant spade trucks only learned about them in college. I bet they are awesome in person. Pretty. Amazing how they can move such huge trees without killing them. Thank you for showing this process. My heart is happy

love this video! so glad to see those beautiful trees being taken care of. I miss so many things about Arizona! thanks for the awesome video Jake!

WOW....That was AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I can tell you where enjoying the entire process. It did really looked like something out of a movie. I enjoyed it too. Great work by the guys who did the job.

Great Jake! Date palm be preserved ! Thanks Mr John Hancock !!!

Absolutely awesome work...I love when trees are saved...I die a little inside when they are not, bummed about those two lost trees...

A pity the new owners wouldn't leave them; such a beautiful characteristic of the area. Well done to the people to stepped in to save them!

This was great to watch! It may even help me get rid of a Canary Island palm I need removed without having to kill it. It kind of outgrew my lot in front of my house.

Love this. Nice tune too.

that lady is great..... also those people and you are true lovers

What a great video Jake. Love the project. The view of the neighborhood reminded me of the palm tree farms in Iraq.

👍 Awesome 👏 video 😊❤️️😊❤️️😊❤️️😊❤️️😊❤️️😊❤️️😊

Wow! Thanks Jake.

Stumbled across this video and brought back some good memories. I lived about 3 blocks west of the arcadia neighborhood in the 80's. Our neighborhood was about 1 sq. mile of these trees. If you didn't get them trimmed every year, the dates would make one helluva mess on the ground.

Mind blowing. Lovely video. Thanks Jake.

Wow, never seen one of the people that signed the Declaration of Independence! That is great not to just let these beautiful trees go to the chipper. Thanks for the video it was great. Really appreciate it.

THAT BACKHOE OPERATOR!!!! amazing

Ha ! Glad I caught this...have met John a while back (out at Tropica, if I recall)...chatted for a while. Great guy. Nicely done...

Thank you for saving these beautiful trees.

amazing

very interesting and WOOW

I hope you revisit it in a year to give us an update.

Would love one of those beauties in my yard!

A great love story. ...

rad

hey there from va your one lucky guy I love dates

I just saw the last 10 acre orange orchard in southern California get cleared. It was over a century old.

I am surprised that the neighborhood or city or some historic committee are not protecting these trees. These are what make the neighborhood special. I use to live in Chicago and there is an area that if you move in you can not cut down the oak trees there since they are special to the neighborhood and has been there for 100+ years. In California too, my brother has a 75 year old California Oak and he can't touch it, he can trim it but he has to let the city know how and by whom, but he can't just cut it down.

I think the video was great especially when you talked about the hight 30 to 40 ft and the weight 26,000

Damn, is John like 7 feet tall?

In my area, there aren't many wooded areas. I hate it when people move to more rural areas, and the first thing they do is tear down all the trees. They move there for the trees, and then they chop them all down. People are crazy.

Awesome, to many kurma 🌴

Wow! I wonder how much the cost is to move the tree.

There should be a website where it's required to give the public advanced notice before trees are cut down. Are there any trees remaining to be cut down? Please spread the word.

It's like he recording himself and the other guy is talking to himself

What did it cost to move? How are they going to keep it from blowing over? Does PV have an ordinance requiring replacement of trees that are removed?

The black sphinx dates are delicious & taste better than the medijoles. I believe they are a hybrid that are only in Phoenix.

Do they worry about what position the tree was growing? north, south? I heard that it's better for the tree if it is planted in the same position as it was......great video Jake!

You confused me with the link to this video in its own description. I clicked it

I've heard of a thing called basal crown rot. The idea here is if the base of the tree is covered with mulch or dirt then that will cause the base to rot and it will kill the tree. Seems like that put the palm too deep.

pretty cool to watch...are they going to brace it....i think he said he wouldn't have to?

I can't believe they cut down twoPalms! I'm sure the houses go for more money because of the palms in the hood.

this cool but would cheaper pick date off tree grow new tree from old tree? wind storm could come in kill new planted tree before gets roots going again

hello i have transplanted a 32 feet long date palm , i ve placed in a 5 feet deep hole then the palm was pruned after being placed in the new location not before and i was always irrigating it . it is already 2 years and the date palm leaves are not regenerating but the roots seems to be growing , the palm looks weak . what should I do??

Nice video! Were the houses in this Black Sphinx Date palm neighborhood build in a Date palm grove? The grid of the Date palms seems interrupted by the houses that are present today. Was just one tree relocated, or a couple of them?

how do you harvest the dates on a 40 foot tree?

how long did this take? and someone needs to drive Mesa where we r moving. Leisure World neighborhood has alot and I asked the Realtor is they were edible he said they weren't.. hmmm

Somebody buy this tree the old ones in my city i dont know where they buy it and the fruit is growing

😊☀️☀️❤️❤️🍃🌱🍀🌞🌞🌞

Ummmm. That wasn't your garden. Great video anyways.

first

Wow how handsome :)

Wild guess: new property owners are Californians? lol... We're getting a bad reputation for buying up TX and AZ properties and doing jerky things like this. But, dude, Jake! Did you sneak away with a cutting of that fig tree behind you? Every time I see a fig tree, I can't help but want to get a cutting.

Are you putting one in your yard Jake?

What is the FRIGGING POINT of building a house in the black sphinx date palm grove, if you aren't planning to KEEP THE BLACK SPHINX DATE PALM TREES??

Gotta be more like 80 ft not 40.

What a story hope the date trees will take the move a pity to kill them can’t stand killing trees...

Only an idiot would remove a 100 year old date palm... The value this adds to a property... when you think that a 20-30 year old palm for landscaping can cost ten thousand dollars in the US... these are priceless

Misleading title

I remember when I was little seeing a palm tree... We don't have them in the NYC metro, obviously. So when I first saw a palm I was intrigued by it. I went over and stuck my hands in the fronds and moved something somehow... All I remember was about 25,000 giant cockroaches scattering in every direction and it absolutely freaked me the hell out. I had never seen so many insects, and I had never seen a cockroach, either. Instinctively I hated the disgusting pieces of shit. They're probably the world's most disgusting creature. They're just awful. They move so fast. They get so large. They have no weapons, like no stingers or claws or bite or anything... their survival strategy is to literally gross everything else out. So.. to this day I worry that palms and cockroaches always go together. Is it common to see roaches infesting palms? Do most palms have this problem? My mother grew up in a part of the US with palms everywhere, and she always told me that was one of the main downsides to palms--they host awful insects and rats. Because a palm isn't a naturally self-cleaning tree like most I'm familiar with. Palms don't lose their leaves, or fronds, they just wilt and flop down and form that dry dead 'skirt' of old fronds that sticks to palms forever... or until an extremely strong wind rips them off or we prune them. These dead fronds host bacteria, mold, fungus, because they just sit there dead, but sucking up moisture from any humidity or morning fog... it's just a damp disgusting haven for bugs. Anyone have palms that are completely free of insects? If so, is this because you have to constantly prune the damn thing? This is why trees in the NYC area are nice. They all take care of themselves. They just don't attract bugs, and because we have a substantial winter, bugs never get to completely take over any area before they all die around September or October. That's another downside to the 'Sun and Fun And Palm trees of Cali and Florida... the bugs!!

They completely rip every tree out of every site I have seen in Texas for New Construction sites...this should be illegal....maybe historical society could aid in preservstion.

wow it should be illegal to remove those trees from that area. crazy there is no ordinance. horrible new owner.
