Also interested in this.
Did you go ahead with any of the advice given previously?
Trunk chop, root work etc?

Initial prep by clearing plants mum wanted to keep and weeds around the base

We brought in the Calvary

Tree popped out of the ground

Tree potted in a temporary pot

We gave the plant a top trim and some seasol just to assist with growth of the roots
I think things could have gone smoother i did snap off abit of the roots when we pulled up the tree i purposely hid it in the photos.

Should i cut more off the top?

None of those pics load up for me. Are they hosted on Photobucket and linked? It is better to upload them directly.

Yes I can't see them either. Just says upgrade your account to allow 3rd party hosting.

Has been out of the ground for 4 years, been growing new leader and choosing branches.

The whole front side was dead so we decided to carve into it.

Will post pics in spring in full leaf.

Thanks for looking and following this tree's story.

Is there any advantage in putting back in the ground on a tile?
