Collected Ash. A little large?

I have been eyeballing this Ash for a couple of years now as a whole group of them appeared in this little valley just up the road. Collectors know what i mean....Always driving around and keeping an eye out. I checked the little valley out a few years back and this guy had planted itself on an incline and next to a little pool of water so it was outstripping the rest growth wise. I decided it should become Bonsai and we pulled up next to it in a 4x4, chained its trunk to the tow bar, and.....drove off. Because of its positioning and abundant water supply its roots had not travelled far and it had a complete fibrous root system. It pulled straight out, we cut its branches off into little pieces and stacked them neatly, put it into the truck, drove home and plonked it into a tub. God, i wish all collects could be so EASY.

Not a shovel was lifted in anger. And that folks took 20 minutes.

It is "dig season" so many congratulations and of course I am jealous on the easy of extraction.
I am expecting the next post in about two years?

If it is not sold Watto. Getting a little to old to be lugging these monsters around. To damned tempting though being how easy it was to obtain.
