Another carrot in granite! This alligator juniper had a tap root as big as the trunk 6" down. Cut tap first year, sharp shovel cut next year collected yesterday. This shows my adjustable form that when tightened up helps hold the loosest granite soil together. I cut under the form with a sharp shovel ( no surprises as I know how deep I cut the tap earlier) and slip a sheet of flashing underneath then transfer to box. Now so that no one with a # of posts larger than their zip code doesn't get all critical, this is an example of how I do it, in now way is it a suggestion for all you "masterdiggers" out there--hahahah
