Yes Andy definately the foliage on the right, creating a canopy back over the trunk. If you dont think carving and planting angle will do the straight start justice then Radiaters layer well. Definately get the backo in if offered and as long as maximum root ball with minimum damage is the key. Let the girls play with their little nursery stock for this tree is a mans job, Its a taker !!! :twisted: :lol: :tu:

Snap it up mate! Looks like it should be an easy dig as well, though I may have just jinxed you!

I would be cutting the unwanted parts during collection. Or just a little before.
