Any success stories here moving huge cordylines?

My 8 foot cordy was leaning a ridiculous amount and looked out of place in its position so at weekend dug it up and moved it. Weighed an absolute ton and took four people to lift it.

I had to bury part of the trunk to make it stable in new spot does anyone know if this will root? or just rot? and chance of it surviving?

    You will just have to ensure you water it twice a day in this hot weather and hope for the best. It is always a gamble moving an established plant.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
