Dwarf Palmetto transplant

How hard is it to dig up a dwarf palmetto and successfully transplant? Long tap root like Cabbage? Curious cause a business it planning on leveling some land with palmettos and I was considering asking to dig them up for myself but not sure if it's worth the effort. Size ranges from 6ftx6 to 1x1ft.

I have heard that its hard to transplant minors but if they are gonna bulldoze them it's worth a shot.

Thanks for the link jaynboro. Seems like digging one of these up is a chore like the cabbage palm. Might still try a smaller one or two just because I hate to see them leveled.
