It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hmmmmm ithought we where displaying trees that were ours or ,at least, collected by us. You remember dont you, shovel in hand, lying on our stomach trying to saw through those hard to get at roots. I might stand up for a minute and rest does it look as good as i thought. Maybe i can pull it out with the 4wd and not damage it if i use a soft harness.........Sorry, i was having a dream sequence from my last dig.

That's what I thought as well! And I always leave the tree tall and tie off on that, then pull the tree till it's leaning over, cut more roots if I can, and repeat! ;)

To Jarrod,
now your a man who remembers a dig, and probably a solo dig at that.
