bottle brush

I took the plunge and dug the tree up today after some great advise (thanks!). I have blisters and a few scrapes. The date on the photo is wrong as I thought it was the 10th.
I removed most of the branches but there was quite a few feeder roots at the base of the trunk. I under-estimated the size of the root ball so I had to plant it in the ground near the shed. Will this cause any problems? I think is has great potential do others agree or not as it was bloody hard work.

No problem whatsoever just treat as you would any recovering plant, and as Ken has suggested next time reduce it a bit more.

Cheers :) Pup

Definately has potential especially if the trunk behind on the right pops ??? Enough winjing already on the dig. Go hard or go home! :lol: :lol: :lol: Good luck with it slug! ;) :D 8-)
