Hi There Olive

I think you should give Alpine a call as I no he has just bought a new tractor that you might be able to lone of him to help you with the digging of that little olive that you have come across

Alpine is interstate i think heading back to it today im a bit sore tho getting a bit old for these big trees ill get some more pictures today i think it be the last one of this size for some time .

Hi Olivecrazy , mate sling the farmer a slab for the use of his tractor , saves a lot of hard work and blisters and our farmers are doing it tough . Because its on his boundary offer to help him sink that slab though .Most country folk would be glad to help remove an obstacle like that off the fence line .

Cheers Alpineart

i got it i got it home at last the dead wood fell of tho but has plenty to dremel later will post picture a bit later will clean it up in the morning still got some work on it to do my poor electric chain saw has some work to do hahahahaha

[Olivecrazy]

Have some pictures of the beast when i got it home chainsaw time in the morning

[The Hacker]

Hey there you crazy olive

This is only my opinion BUT I think you will need more than a dremel to remove some of that extra wood

I can see the tree that i want but the question is can i get it real big stump ive got here

[Olivecrazy]

Did some tuff work on this stump today but didnt make it chainsaw broken got real close to oh well will have a go at it in the morning some how . My back up plan is to plant it in a raised garden bed an fill with good potting mix where the roots will hopefully grow . Will be a bugga to do major work yrs down the track when lifting the tree but the main thing now is to get it growing again here are some picture one shows the tree im after im 90% finished before the chainsaw crapped out

[Olivecrazy]

Well i got y tree out of it it wasnt easy i can tell you got some final cleaning up an some small cuts to be done then in the ground it goes hope it shoots well tho put a lot of work into it .
I all so cut a good little tree of the side for my daughter she helped me a lot digging it out it will be a good little tree as well i think

[Olivecrazy]

Hi me again my sisters hubby came around today with a nice sharp chainsaw we trimmed it up good its so much easier to move now have some picture below just have to waite to see what it does from here planted it deeper then needed for better chance of roots to grow

Wow, you dont do anything in half measures mate, i love the base of this pig.

Hope you dont mind but i doctored a pic to show where i would of chopped it:



Same as the one on the left. They have great bases just follow its taper to the point where it seems to lose its movement then chop it.
