On my way to work, I pass by a lot of houses and lands with big olive, pomegranate. I pay attention to those trees daily! My effort is finally paid off this morning. There is one old nursery demolished for shopping center. This nursery was possessed by Hispanic person. As you might know that the Hispanic likes to grow the pomegranate. It has a lot of tree, mostly palm. It has one giant pomegranate tree. Luckily I found a free time at lunch today, so I came to the site and talked to the boss of the demolish company. He was operating the Bobcat compact excavator to remove a big tamarix tree. I asked him to see if I could get pomegranate tree for free. He said he had no problem to give me it. He asked me how I could bring it back home. I showed him my SUV . He looked at it and said " I don't think it can fit into your car"! He may be right because the pomegranate is really big. It has 3 trunks and each trunk is about 40 cm. Its trunks are really nice for multiple knots! It looks very old. I am guessing it may be at least 50 years old. I believe the root base right beneath the soil line is about 1 meter!!! I can make at least 4 different trees from this one.
If you connect these two pictures together, you can imagine how big of the root base beneath the soil line.
The good thing is that my big brother who has a big truck will come to the site to pick up the tree and we can share each other. Another good thing is that the boss of demolition company will use his equipment to get the tree out for me. I am looking forward to seeing those stumps in my yard next week!
