I went and had a look at then thought yeah they are on the big side, btu she'll be OK.
Dug them both yesterday, and once out of the ground, I realised they are actually bloody big
Each one is about 12" ( 300mm) across at the soil line.
Oh well pot them up and see how they go, if the grow and look ok then i do not want them I can sell them to someone younger
The single trunk one just the tree i can just pick up on my own, but the multi trunk one is far too heavy.
In the pots I think 2 people will struggle to lift them
Hope Julie is feeling strong this arvo so I can move them to the growing spot?
They were out at windsor so called into Bonsai Environment to see what pot they had that they might fit in and he had one for the smaller tree for only $75
Grabbed that one but a pot for the bigfer will be $220 + so will leave that for the moment,
Went then to Ray's to get some potting mix as I cannot get to a shop that sells Diatomite till next week and that will be too long to wait
Asked ray if he had anything to put the big one in, and he said he some big tubs that will work
Got home as it went dark, so out them in the wheel berrow and Tub filled with Seasol overnight.
Trimmed and potted them up this arvo and here is the results.
I will let them recover and just go mad till next year in Spring then look at what they have to work with. During that time I will put wire on the branches if they need to give a reasonable shape to work with in the future

Hope they come back well!
