About 3 inches across the base under the soil which i will expose next winter when I repot

Suggestions please and no it will not go back in the ground :-)

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I talked Ray into picking out 10 trees and then had the local nursery collect them at the monthly wholesale meeting where all teh nurseries meet to exchange goods. It was alot of fun getting ten trees turn up that I had not chosen and then make something out of them. He was not keen though it took a bit of sweet talking about how I would rather spend the money on trees than petrol getting there. I think your second option would be better :)

On a side note I think I need to get invited to this monthly wholesale meeting in the city to see what goes on there :shock:
