Big Bougainvillea dig

Post by elljuu »

Hi all
I think I better make my own thread.
My mum has like 8 bougainvillea and doesn't want them any more they are about 30+. I did get one of the bougies out today with help from my husband.
It wasn't hard at all. I have delt with less roots on a dig and it's bounced back. Image
If anyone wants one of the other plants. Let me know. They are not all the same colour she has different colour bougies. I could dig them next weekend.

Thanks
Elljuu

The bougies will be about $50 each if anyone wants one.

I'm not sure about pricing for something like this. Is $50 ok? I am open to offers as well

Just realised you're in QLD so the stumps probably won't be in good shape posting to VIC. Sorry but I'll leave it for a local enthusiast..

Hi Elljuu,

I understand your post is some weeks back, would you have any of the bougies left. I live in Brisbane.

Hi. Sorry work wouldn't let me take holiday over Christmas. So I have been way too busy to get them out. I have 2 weeks at the end of Jan so I will make sure I'll dig them up then. There is 9 up for grabs Dan.e is asking for a few too. The one I dug a few months ago has grown back slowly..

Sorry again for the delayed digging
