Man digging trees is hard work, i can hear the huffing :tu:

Keen to see how the recovery goes since you just chopped it at the base. That should get it into a shallow pot in the future

Keep it up :D

I'm a heart attack waiting to happen :o

Yeah would have been better to dig out and flat cut lower afterwards to get more root base but thats too much like hard work, got enough base I reckon, was sticking out the ground a fair way.

Nice one, decent bit of branch structure to play with in the future. Should survive fine but there are always a few that sulk for ages or decide to just die on you for whatever reason.

Hope this isn’t a high jack question but is anyone keen to go collecting? I’m centrally based next to the city.
