moving a palm

Hi everyone,

I work at Stanford University in the SF Bay area and so I've seen a
lot of very large palms transplanted over the years. One thing that
they always do here is to gather up all the fronds and tie them
together.  After transplanting, they're left tied up for a long
time-at least a couple of months.  I've been told that it helps
them survive the transplant in some way.  Do any of you know what
the rationale behind this practice is?
