Answer:
You sent me very little info Bob. If it grew its trunk relatively quickly, it can’t be transplanted. If it is very slow growing with a soft reddish-brown hairy trunk, it can be transplanted. Cut it off at whatever height you desire and remove all leaves except the curled-up ones in the centre. Dig a hole and plant it. Water it every 3 days or so until it starts growing strongly. Don
