Quick update on these for reference.
Another one died in Feb.
I was away a lot over feb/match, not sure if that had anything to do with it or if it would have happened anyway.

The remaining three out of five are looking healthy. The foliage on the bigger one is a bit thiner than it was, but I think this was just the top adjusting to the reduced roots. They all have new buds swelling and elongating, ready for the new season's leaves to open up.

A couple of them probably aren't the best material to work with, but they'll be interesting and if I go on another dig I will have more experience and confidence to get something better.

This one has two branches that go down into the ground and have rooted, with 4 new ones shooting up. I'm hoping I can separate them, or keep them as a clump separated from the parent tree.
