well all sound keen what time do you have of over christmas jamie we might be able to work around your time off

i got about from the 22 of dec, to the 4 of january but i am also on call during that time, if we are gonna work it out for between then it would have to be after christmas i would think? i figure that would be best for everyone too?
if we work out a time to sort that out then i will make sure they cant call me in that day

Im curious.

Here is South-Africa we only dig Celtis in late winter/early spring just as the buds begin to swell. They say Celtis does not transplant well at any other time of the year. But we dig Olive and Buddleja in February, the hottest time of the year.

What's your experience on this?

hi the ones we dig are celtis sinensis i think these are basicaly weeds around here you couldnt kill them with a flame thrower.
my last colection was early spring and athey all survived a huge hacking and a bare root we will give it a shot if they die well go get more as there a listed weed in most places here.
thanks for the advice.

Im not advising.

Celtis sinensis is also common here. If you are going to try Im going to try also.

I will report back on my success rate.

i think we will be right digging them this time of year, they seem to be tough as old boot leather, i put mine i just got under some severely harsh treatment and its budding and popping all over the joint after 3-5 days, cant remember exactly when i did it but it was late last week

keen as


jamie

Yes I am still keen , I checked on the work calendar today and I should have a couple rdo's banked up so after xmas is all good to come down as long as it works well for everyone else

how does the 29th work for everyone

Greetings,
Good luck with the dig. Look out for the yellow gwavas that are along the Bruce Hwy. Gwavas have a nice smooth bark, easy to bend branches and the leaves reduce with the 2/3 method.
I have only Monday 28 off and I need that for the Woodford folk festival.
Please be careful if you stop on the highway, the cars and trucks go way too fast.

This sounds Good. After xmas sometime is good for me.

It would also be good to meet some of you also.
