Just remember that when you pot it, put it on something in an accessible area that will allow you to move it with a forklift etc., because if it doesn't already, soon enough it will weigh a tonne - literally! :tu:

HI

It's fantastic to get hold of such a monster. It is now a year on - is there any chance to have an update on this as I would love to see if your hopes have been fulfilled.

That's a real shame. It had the potential to be an awesome tree. Better luck next time.

That is indeed a shame. I guess you gotta keep friendly with your boss now; at least til you lifted that tree.
