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

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

I'm a heart attack waiting to happen

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.

I reckon your spot on there mate. Best of luck with the recovery.

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.
