I would think the likelihood it survives a transplant at that age and size is unlikely. 

Plenty of biggers after move are still living to this day with the arborists and up keep.

[orlandouprise]

then by all means...how much to transplant? I personally would love to see it at Central Park at CV. How much? I would start a gofund me for it. Honestly

Found this article on the subject...

Moving Large Trees

The cost to transplant trees varies based on the caliper inch of the tree to be moved and where it is to be located. Transplanting trees is commonplace in the landscape industry and refers to any planting of trees, whether from containerized material, balled and burlapped, or machine moved. Transplanted trees from 8 to 10 inches in caliper can be planted with traditional methods by tree spade machines and by hand for smaller caliper trees. For larger trees, 10 inches to 24 inches in caliper, unconventional methods are needed. These require multiple steps for digging and preparing the root-ball, lifting, transporting, and installation. Trees over 24 inches are generally referred to as ”mega-tree” moves, and require extraordinary methods, procedures, and equipment. While transplant costs will vary in different parts of the country, a 10- to 24-inch caliper tree will cost +/- $1,200 per caliper inch. Add another 20 to 30 percent if cranes are needed, or if the tree is being moved off-site. Above 24 inches, the costs jump significantly and can easily reach $10,000 per caliper inch, due to the increased tree/soil weight and the equipment necessary to move them. While transplanting a single 50-inch caliper oak tree at a potential cost of $500,000 is not within the reach of most owners, transplanting trees in the 10- to 24-inch caliper range is cost-effective under certain circumstances, and provides many of the benefits mentioned.

They should put a hold in the creative village project until all trees and plants are safe and secured.
Save the trees and plants!

They should stage a "refuTREES welcome" protest. #LoveTrumpsHate

It's more of a construction zone. 

@dcluley98 wasn't kidding!  Check out these phenomenal aerials showing all the current activity at CV (and Golden Sparrow/Radius/Orange & Robinson in the background).

 

[dcluley98]

Yep.  They were using the Central Park Commons site for material and fill-dirt storage/contractor parking previously.  The plan I saw was for Ustler to vacate that and begin work on the Central Park  Commons as soon as the Julian was finished. Mill Creek/Modera have their own  parking and laydown area. Ustler will be using the lot north of Amelia for EA Sports HQ once Julian is done and they need less space.  Looks like they are clearing the site for the commons area now, other than some fill dirt storage for the adjacent projects.  I expect them to begin the sitework on the Central Park Commons soon after the foundations  are done for the other two projects. 

Supposed to start this summer to accelerate opening because of the Covid Shutdown according to Ustler's plans that I saw.  They also had some offsite contractor parking/storage they identified for possible use  at  800 W Amelia St or  600 Putnam Ave, depending on needs.  

Also note they are finishing up landscape/sitework for the parking areas for CV/VD.  Sidewalks are all done and they are doing landscaping/sodding next in the photo.

I don't even recognize the CV anymore, a bit disorienting with all the new development and construction going on. Even though the roads are closed to through traffic, that doesn't stop a lot of cars & buses from flying through there. Walked over to the lots just south of Lake Dot yesterday and took a few pictures:

Latest Baker Barrios overall rendering I have seen that shows what CV will look like once the current projects including Modera CV, EA Sports, and the CV Commons and sitework are built-out.  (They took out some surface parking and added more trees which is probably creative license, but looks pretty cool).

Whoops, Jernigan already posted that earlier this year.

Great minds think alike.

[Jerry95]

a few of these are now up, would be nice if they included an opening date...

Hopefully that is just a concept rendering. The last thing Orlando needs is a large swath of open green space with no shade cover. 
This would get just as much use as Seneff Arts Plaza.

[dcluley98]

That is the actual rendering and design. This is a good use for a college campus setting. There are shade  trees in the design (although I am not too keen on the Palm promenade), and the green space will get used by people here, unlike at DPAC.  The northern half includes a gazebo/pavilion surrounded by trees with a natural-like amphitheater area. The green space can be used for exercise and other activities similar to the field on the NE corner of Eola park (and likely will with college students and young professionals working nearby). 

It seems to me like a good mixture of functionality and natural space. I like the design. 

[prahaboheme]

Thing is, Orlando just doesn’t have the climate to support a large open space. I’d cut that in half and use the rest for areas of relaxing, reading, studying, under a comfortable canopy. 
Can’t even say this would be used for protesting this day and age because that has turned to the streets.

[prahaboheme]

And I agree, the palm promenade should be reconsidered however as I’ve mentioned before recently, this new trend in Orlando to replace aged trees with palms seems to be an unfortunate trend.

Why not stick to central Florida’s natural trees such as oaks, cypress etc? They are much more attractive and functional.

I was worried those were palms, can’t believe we still think long stretches of palm trees are better than streets lined with trees that provide shade

The open green space at Baldwin park gets used all the time.  Soccer, football, boot camps, frisbee, etc.  
with all those dorms and apartments, sure it will get plenty of use.

great point! Does anyone know if the oval shape represents anything to do with the old arena?

Not that I can tell but that would have been fun! What a missed opportunity. 

 

The center oval looks like snowboarding goggles to me.

This is climate denial.

We aren’t talking about Baldwin.
